Soft cover. Condition: New. Stacey, Mark; Gilliland, Alan (illustrator). 1st Edition. 80 pages. Soft covers. In 1836, Samuel Colt changed the concept of the pistol forever with the introduction of the Paterson revolver. It was the first of a series of iconic and influential multi-shot , single-action pistols that included the massive .44-caliber Colt Walker and the seminal .45-caliber Colt Single Action Army, which remains in production today. These weapons elevated the role of the pistol from a last-resort, single-shot weapon to a practical and powerful sidearm that gave the user the ability to continue to defend himself once his musket or rifle was discharged. It transformed cavalry tactics and soon relegated the sword to a largely ceremonial role in most armies. Featuring full-color 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.
