1836
THE 1836 COLT Paterson 5-shot revolver was the first commercial repeating firearm employing a revolving cylinder with multiple chambers aligned with a single, stationary barrel. Its design was patented by Samuel Colt on February 25, 1836, and it derived its name from being produced in Colts first plant in Paterson, New Jersey. Sam was 22. In 1845, units of the U.S. Dragoon forces and Texas Rangers engaged in fighting the Indians in Texas credited their use of Colt firearms for their great success in defeating Indian forces.

1847 Walker
U.S. WAR DEPARTMENT officials reportedly were favorably impressed with the 1836 Paterson. As a result, when the Mexican War began in 1846, Capt. Samuel H. Walker, U.S. Army, traveled east, looked up Sam Colt, and collaborated on the design of a new, more powerful revolver. The result was the 1847 Walker, the largest and most powerful black powder repeating handgun ever made. Samuel Walker carried two of his namesake revolvers in the Mexican American War.

COLT GAME CHANGER
1865 Gatling Gun

g Martin Auction s.
THE GATLING GUN is one of the best known early rapidfire weapons and a forerunner of the modern machine gun. It was used by Union forces during the Civil War, the first time it was employed in combat. The Gatling gun was designed by Dr. Richard J. Gatling in 1861 and production by Colt began shortly thereafter. Gatling wrote that he created the gun to reduce the size of armies and so reduce the number of deaths by combat and disease, and to show how futile war is. Critics point out that General George Custers legacy might have been different had he accepted the offer to use a battery of Gatling guns before his fateful day. He believed the heavy guns would impede his rapid march to the Little Big Horn.

IN 1872, COLT began to manufacture its first breech-loaded revolver that used self-contained metallic cartridges. That gun became known as the world-famous Single Action Army Model 1873, and it was designed to use metallic ammunition that contained its own primer. No Colt revolver has earned greater acclaim than the 1873 Single Action Army. S.A.A. owners have included the most famous and infamous of Americas frontier past: Theodore Roosevelt, Buffalo Bill Cody, Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid, and countless others who, with the support of Colt revolvers, created the American West of history and legend.

THE COLT DELTA ELITE

The time-tested Colt Government Model is available in 10mm. Colt was one of the original pioneers in adapting a combat pistol to the potent 10mm cartridge and the first to successfully manufacture a 10mm caliber pistol in the United States. The Colt Delta Elite, a longtime favorite amongst combat pistol shooters, offers the power to hunt medium sized game with near 41 Magnum ballistics in a legendary 1911 style pistol.

1903 Pocket Hammerless

THE .32 ACP COLT Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless was among the first semi-automatic pistols designed by John Browning and built by Colt. Many gangsters of the pre-World War II era favored the Model 1903 because they were small and easily concealed. It is said that Al Capone kept one in his coat pocket and Bonnie Parker used one to break Clyde Barrow out of jail after smuggling it in by taping it to her thigh.

A MILESTONE IN the history of Colt was reached when Colt introduced the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, based on a design by Eugene Stoner. It was followed shortly thereafter by the M16 military full-automatic version. Involvement of the United States in Vietnam put heavy demands on Colt to supply arms for the troops.

COLT MATCH TARGET RIFLES RIFLES FOR THE MODERN SPORTSMAN

While the Colt name is virtually synonymous with handguns, longarms were the first revolving firearms off of Sam Colts assembly line. Thats right! The first production model of any Colt was the No.1 Ring Lever Rifle. The carbine breech (attachable shoulder stocks for handguns) and Americas first slide action rifle were also part of Colts on-and-off ventures into longarms. Then in 1963, the AR-15 and M16 .223 (5.56mm) automatic rifles made Colt the small-arms sensation of modern warfare. Their unmatched accuracy, performance and durability are available in their direct descendants, the Colt semiautomatic-only sporting rifles. Theyre ideal for hunting, plinking and competition shooting. MODEL MT6400

HOW IT ALL STARTED

More than 175 years ago, an obscure young seaman, Calcutta bound, carved a model of what was destined to become the worlds most famous revolver from a block of wood. His name was Samuel Colt, and from the spark of his inventive genius, came the modern firearms of today. One would have to search diligently through the pages of history to find a more romantic and glamorous figure than Samuel Colt. His was the mind of a genius, a planner and a dreamer, all in one. His vision was not local, but worldwide. His ambition exceeded mere prosperity and power. Complete satisfaction could only be his when he had reached the pinnacle of his chosen field. His own deeds and the life he lived have immortalized him, and the products that still bear his name are a constant tribute to his ability and his resourcefulness. Samuel Colts effort to market his inventions is a record of amazing courage, ingenuity, and perseverance. That one so young in years and so handicapped by poverty and lack of prestige could prevail against such odds is one of the marvels of individual American enterprise.
