Remarks

Colt’s Single Action Army Model Revolver is the most successful and recognizable revolver of all time. It was so popular with Western pioneers, peace officers, gunslingers, outlaws, cowboys, and the military that it is commonly called "the handgun that won the West." The use of the revolver by Western entertainers solidified its status as a veritable symbol of the region.
