These firearms were Samuel Colt's answer to the demand of a growing civilian market for a light handgun. They found much favor with gamblers, prospectors, and "men of change" for whom the dragoon models were much to heavy and oversized. Many settlers on the Oregon Trail, as well as Civil War soldiers, chose these revolvers as a fast handling back-up pocket gun. Just like yesterday, this is a great historic concealed weapon for all you Cowboy action shooters and reenactors.
