Good evening all, I am down with a cold or some kind of flu today so I took full advantage of my surroundings. I figured since I am completely surrounded by western motif and staying on a large cattle ranch why not put together a Western photo for my faithful readers. For many of you this gun needs no introduction, it’s the most sought after and famed gun of them all, the Colt 45 revolver. My friends here at the ranch were a big help today helping me put together this nostalgic collage for you and I want to thank them again for all their help and hospitality. Many historians remember the famous post-Civil War slogan that said, “Abraham Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal.” Before Colt’s revolving cylinder, “a shooter could only obtain a pistol with one- or two-barrel flintlocks,” according to ScopesGuide.com. The Colt revolver signaled a revolution in ballistic weaponry, transforming the tedious reloading process and low rate of fire. Samuel Colt’s legacy lives on as the company bearing his name continues to sell Colt revolver.
