This EMF Co. replica of the Paterson Colt, with its unique folding trigger, and the stagecoach robbery scene roll engraved on the cylinder, is an accurate, working reproduction of the gun that revolutionized revolvers for all time. Despite a lack of sales of the original Paterson Colt to the general public, praise from the Texas Rangers and U.S. Army officers fighting in the swamps of Florida, proved that inventor Samuel Colt had the right idea.
– COURTESY EMF CO. –
Considered by many arms students as the ultimate in design and practicality in big-bore cap and ball Colt revolvers, the Model 1860 Army .44, as shown by this handsome Uberti USA, blued and color case hardened replica, remains a favorite with black powder hand gunners today.
