be Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them

equal. Th is post-Civil War slogan would have been music to Sam Colt’s

ears had he lived long enough to hear it. Yet, even before his death at the age of 47, he knew that his invention of a weapon capable of fi ring without reloading was

a tremendous success throughout the world.

Some 19th-century historians have gone so far as to say that Sam Colt’s invention altered the course of history. Whatever the case, when all was said and done, no one could deny that Sam Colt had achieved both fame and fortune known to few other inventors.

Sam Colt’s success story began with the issuance of a U.S. patent in 1836 for the Colt fi rearm equipped with a revolving cylinder containing fi ve or six bullets. Colt’s revolver provided its user with greatly increased fi repower.

Th e Colt revolving-cylinder concept is said to have occurred to Sam Colt while serving as a seaman aboard the sailing ship Corvo. Th ere he observed a similar principle in the workings of the ship’s capstan. During his leisure hours, Sam carved a wooden representation of his idea.

175 years ago, Sam Colt harnessed a dream and turnedit into one of the most historically signifi cant inventions of the modern world. Todayhis legacy continues.

1836 PatersonFIRST BORN COLT

TTHE 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 Colt’s fi rst 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 fi rearms for their great success in defeating Indian forces.

UU.S. WAR DEPARTMENT offi cials report-edly 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.

THE GATLING GUN is one of the best known early rapid-fi re weapons and a forerunner of the modern machine

gun. It was used by Union forces during the Civil War, the fi rst 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 Custer’s legacy might have been

diff erent had he accepted the off er 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.

1873 SINGLE ACTION ARMY ®

IN 1872, COLT began to manufacture its fi rst 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 America’s frontier past: Theodore Roosevelt, Buff alo 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.

FFROM ITS INTRODUCTION in 1898 to the beginning of World War II, the Colt New Service® Double Action revolver was a major part of the Colt line and was used heavily by the U.S. Military. Produced for government contracts and civilian sales between 1898 and 1944, it came in a variety of calibers but was most commonly chambered in .45 ACP and .45 Colt. It served American forces during the First World War and accompanied many police offi cers in their duties throughout the fi rst half of the twentieth century.

Items recovered after the deadly ending with Texas Rangers revealed Bonnie’s Colt Semi-Auto.

TTHE .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.

SETTING THE STANDARD

Model 1911THE COLT 1911 still defi nes the

standard for modern day semi-automatic pistols. The 1911 was the standard U.S. military

sidearm from 1911 to 1985 and is still frequently used

by civilians, law en-forcement, and mili-tary forces today. The

M1911 is the best known of John Browning’s designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. In addition to the pistol itself being widely copied, this operating sys-tem rose to become the pre-emi-nent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfi re pistols. It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as IDPA, International Practical Shooting Confedera-tion, and Bullseye shooting. It is

also a popular civilian concealed carry option due to its slim width.

INTRODUCED TO THE fi rearms market in 1927, The Colt Offi cial Police is a medium frame double-action revolver with a six shot cylinder, primarily chambered for the .38 Special cartridge.

TODAY’S COLT

OVER THE LAST century and three-quarters, Colt has had many individuals at the helm, starting with Samuel Colt. Today, Colt’s leadership is as powerful as ever under the direction of Lt. Gen. William M. Keys USMC (Ret.) as President and Chief Executive Offi cer. A decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, General Keys took the helm of the company at a critical time and shepherded it through legal thicket and successfully reoriented the business back

toward profi t and growth. As a combat veteran and an avid shooter and collector himself, General Keys has provided the company with a leader who appreciates and understands fi rearms as few others do.

COLT MATCH TARGET ® RIFLESRIFLES FOR THE MODERN SPORTSMANWhile the Colt name is virtually synonymous with handguns, longarms were the fi rst revolving fi rearms off of Sam Colt’s assembly line. Th at’s right! Th e fi rst production model of any Colt was the No.1 Ring Lever Rifl e. Th e carbine breech (attachable shoulder stocks for handguns) and America’s fi rst slide action rifl e were also part of Colt’s on-and-off ventures into longarms. Th en in 1963, the AR-15® and M16 .223 (5.56mm) automatic rifl es “made Colt the small-arms sensation of modern warfare”. Th eir unmatched accuracy, performance and durability are available in their directdescendants, the Colt semiautomatic-only sporting rifl es. Th ey’re ideal for hunting, plinking and competition shooting.

COLT CUSTOM SHOP

DESIGN YOUR OWNTh e Colt Custom Shop can assist you in designing and creating your one-of-a-kind heirloom, providing an array of options. Select the amount and style of scroll engraving; your personal design, fi gure and inscription; the material you want to use for any inlay; and your choice of fi nishes. Select grips are also available. Design your own competition gun with many custom options: barrels, slides, sight systems, hammers, triggers and trigger guards, safeties, magazines, grip and fi nishes. Th e Colt Custom Shop will fi ne tune and accurize your competition gun for ultimate performance.

ENGRAVING COVERAGECustom engraving can enhance the beauty of a historical revolver or the sleek lines of a new semi-automatic pistol. Level A provides one quar-ter coverage, producing the eff ect of delicate embellishment while com-plete coverage at Level D creates a uniquely decorative showpiece for any collector. Level B and C off er engraving coverage that might highlight spe-cifi cally chosen areas of the fi rearm such as the cylinder of a revolver or the barrel of a pistol.

STYLES OFENGRAVINGThe Colt Custom Gun Shop off ers several styles of engraving, each with its own unique features. Scrollwork is adapted to fi t the size, shape and contour of every fi rearm.

Three grades of engraving are offered: Standard-basic American style, engraver not recorded; Expert-master quality scroll work, engraver signed and recorded; and Master-intricate scrollwork with precious metal inlays, signed by the engraver and recorded.

AMERICAN: Developed in the mid-19th century, this is the most popular engraving style for American fi rearms.

ENGLISH: English engraving is more delicate than the American style, with tighter scrolls and fi ner shading.

NIMSCHKE: Nimschke is named for the fi rearms engraver who helped create the American style. Th is design features rich scrollwork, a heavily punched dot background, fi ne edge curls and delicate borders.

CUSTOM GRIPS AND ACCESSORIESOff ered in the Colt Custom Shop are custom grips made

of several materials including Buff alo horn, Walnut, Ivory, and Rosewood. Hand checkering in a plain

or double diamond pattern are also off ered. Special edition grip medallions may be requested and produced in accordance with your specifications, including choice of metal, fi nish and decorative motif or symbol.

HOW IT ALL STARTEDMore than 175 years ago, an obscure young seaman, Calcutta bound, carved a model of what was destined to become the world’s most famous revolver from a block of wood. His name was Samuel Colt, and from the spark of his inventive genius, came the modern fi rearms of today. One would have to search diligently through the pages of history to fi nd a more romantic and glamorous fi gure 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 fi eld. 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 Colt’s eff ort 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.
