Don't forget Smith & Wesson made all men equal....


AND WHAT STRONG DRUGS ARE YOU ON NOW.


Didn't Colt 'Peacemaker' make all men equal? I always thought Colt were the original revolvers and Smith & Wesson ones were made to resemble Colt products.



Yes, it was Colt, specifically Colonel Colt who made all men equal.

The Paterson was in operation in the 1840's out west.


"Most significant, however, were those revolvers reissued to units of the Texas Rangers. Among these border horsemen the Colt revolver first won its reputation as a weapon ideally suited to mounted combat. Using Paterson Colts purchased in 1843, Col. John Coffee Hays commanded a Ranger contingent in several uneven battles against depredating Comanches."
