The picture is actually a Colt Patterson, Colt's original revolver. It featured a trigger that would fold down from the frame when the hammer was pulled back. The theory was that, that way the trigger couldn't get caught on the holster. The Patterson was massive and extremely heavy so while you could now fire 6 rounds off in seconds the gun never caught on and nearly bankrupt Colt before the Civil War.

Vanessa Dionisio, all men are not created equal. Samuel Colt changed that. That’s a quote I heard a long time ago.

I called a local gun dealer once to inquire about buying a Peacemaker. Prices range from $300 to $30,000. I can't afford the one I want, and I don't want the one I can afford...

DeepFlyweight58611, PEACE MAKER??? I hate guns. I reside in Australia where only a few people are allowed to own guns. The American “right to bear arms” disgusts me. Every day on the international news there’s kids being slaughtered by the gun. I’m so glad I live here!!!

I called a gun dealer once to ask about purchasing a Peacemaker. When I asked about pricing, he said, "Well, we can start around $300 and go up to $30,000. How much you got?"
Velvetina
remusmckellen1, yep... is why I HAD to check out what it was about 😆😆😆
AndyAlwysSmiling
remusmckellen1, An oxymoron if ever there was one, this would be it a GUN! A peace maker, hmmm!

UltraViolet, we still have cowboys and criminals. In fact we have even more criminals now than then most likely because we have several more billions of people in the world. But... there will never be a day when there are no criminals in the world. And you can't depend on a police officer to defend you when he is 10-20 minutes away and the gun is right in front of you pointed at you or your being threatened that it will be pointed at you. We definitely still need them. And I would say even more so now as so many people have no love for anyone but themselves. We live with our head in the same if we think criminals are gone.

kjngirlie, Thank you! I was wondering why it was called that.. hmmm
Wade
I wonder why it was called the Peacemaker? I know gun violence is prevalent in modern times but it sounds like it was a good defender. I wonder if that's the reason.🤔 Maybe I will do some more research. Sounds like Mr.Colt invented some interesting firearms! Show me them guns!!

Sam Colt supplied guns for the Mexican American War in 1846, going into business with Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin.
