		The Colt model 1873 revolver, universally known as the Colt Single Action, Peacemaker, or Frontier, is one of the most popular and legendary small arms in USA.
		The Colt 1873 was actually developed by the 1872, based on the patents granted to Charles B. Richards (cartridge conversion of the open-top percussion Colt revolvers) and W. Mason (improved ejector).
		Colt Bisleys were intended as a target guns, and had hammers with wider and lower spurs, and a different grip frame.

		Furthermore, as the swing-out cylinder had yet to be invented, Colt Peacemakers are loaded by opening a loading gate on the right side of the gun, behind the cylinder.
		However, because the Colt's cartridge was more powerful, and because the Colt revolver tended to be a more sturdy gun because of its solid frame, the Colt was the final choice for the U.S. Army and, therefore, for any peace officer or civilian who could afford one.
		Marty McFly is given a brand new Colt Peacemaker in Back to the Future Part III, but he never fires the gun during the course of the movie.

	American Experience \| Jesse James \| People & Events \| PBS
		Before Colt came along, most pistols were individually made and had to be fired and reloaded one shot at a time.
		Although Colt had problems with his initial designs and his first manufacturing company went bankrupt, the war with Mexico and Westward migration greatly enhanced his gun's popularity.
		And by the time of Jesse's bank robberies in the early 1870s, the weapon of choice was the Colt.45 Peacemaker, which combined the bullet, gunpowder, and percussion cap in one cartridge and was therefore much easier to reload.

	Colt Single Action Army Peacemaker SAA information
		Futher the solid frame Colt tended to be sturdier under harsh usage than the SandW top-break automatic ejection pattern.
		The "Winchester Centerfire" calibers –.44 WCF (44-40),.38 WCF (38-40), and.32 WCF (32-20) placed 2nd, 3rd and 4th in popularity; doubtless in part due to the fact that paired with an 1873 or 1892 Winchester they allowed the usage of the same cartridge in both rifle and revolver, simplifying supply logisitics.
		The now obsolete.41 Colt was the only other caliber produced in significant quantity, altho a number of other chamberings were available on special order.

		The famous Colt Peacemaker was the issue sidearm of the US Army until 1875.

		A "real" Colt Peacemaker from about 1875 with a 5.5 inch barrel with a serial number in the 19,xxx range it is in the first batch made and is fl powder cartridge ONLY.
		The CFDA rules are pretty simple, it must be 45 Colt and no external changes to the gun except that the front sight can be removed (some of the old time gunslingers did that) but I don't know anybody in CFDA that does.
		The hand spring in the Colt is quite a fragile leaf type spring, Great western and some others drill a small hole above the backstrap screw and replace the leaf spring with a small coil spring and plunger.

		In the description of his " Small.45 Colt" conversion Linebaugh states that the standard SAAMI specs for.45 Colt is.484 minimum to.489 maximum chamber diameter while the average.45 Colt case diameter is a.476 inch.
		It is this excessive expansion to fill the overly large chambers that has lead to the reputation of the.45 Colt brass as being weak.

	Colt SAA 38-40
		By 1877, the Colt Peacemaker was chambered in.44 W.C.F (Winchester Center-Fire) or.44-40 as a companion piece to the 1873 Winchester lever gun.
		Barrel grooves and chamber mouth diameters ran from tight to over-size and it was not uncommon to have a tight chamber and oversize bore or vice versa.
		Since this Colt Single Action is a '.40 SandW' in disguise, I also opted for one of Milt Sparks' excellent concealment holsters, the #200AW with the hammer covered to protect a jacket lining and also the screw adjustable welt.

		When you pick this peacemaker up, you will notice several things.
		The Frame is marked 44 cal. I am not sure, but I think someone of expertise, re-barreled it and added a new cylinder so it would be a 45 cal. For as mentioned all serial numbers do match.
		Since that time I am sure its never been fired for there isn't any scratch or wear on the cylinder from it turning and again it appears perfect.
