In 1836, Samuel Colt changed the face of warfare with the
production of the first of a series of iconic and influential
single-action revolvers, including the .44-calibre Colt Walker and
the seminal .45-calibre Colt Single Action Army, which remains in
production today. These weapons shifted the role of the pistol from
single-shot weapon of last resort to a practical and powerful
sidearm that gave the user the ability to defend himself once his
primary armament was discharged. It transformed cavalry tactics and
relegated the sword to a largely ceremonial role in many armies.
Featuring full-colour artwork, expert analysis and gripping
first-hand accounts, this is the absorbing story of Colt's family
of single-action revolvers, covering their origins, development,
use and lasting impact on the modern world.
