Colt revolvers
Classic American handguns
Colt revolvers are handguns manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company, distinguished by a revolving cylinder that holds multiple cartridges.
Samuel Colt's 1836 patent established the design that became synonymous with the American frontier.
The Colt Single Action Army, known as the Peacemaker, became iconic in Western mythology: He wore a Colt on his hip.
Colt revolvers remain influential in firearms design and popular culture.
