Colt's Guns - The Story of the Colt Colt

Colt patented the way in which the cylinder fit in the gun and the loading of the bullet. He promised to produce ten thousand guns when he didn't have a factory or any means of doing so. Several of his colts were used by the texas rangers when fighting native indians. Colt also had the bad habit that the man he charged to design the actual creation of the gun, was often not paid by him.
