History
The Colt Revolver is a single action firearm. It utilizes a revolving chamber holding six rounds, and is also known to some as a six-shooter. However it safely holds only five rounds at a time, keeping an empty chamber directly under the hammer to prevent accidental discharge if dropped or struck. It was designed for the US cavalry by Colt's Manufacturing Company and adopted in 1873. It was one of the most famous pistols of the wild west, having a similar fame as the Walker Colt and the Colt 1851 Navy.
