It’s crazy how the 1911 that is still in use today was invented only 40 odd years after the colt single action army.

The 1911 was designed with the popularity of the SAA in mind, so it took some design cues. .45ACP and the barrel length were designed to give similar ballistics to .44-40 or .45LC. It was single action with the hammer exposed and had a half cock. Also like the SAA, the 1911 was initially offered in both .38 and .45 variants.

Well, those settlers and farmers couldn't have tamed the Wild West without one gun in particular; the double barrel shotgun. A large family of settlers likely didn't have a Colt Single Action Army revolver. Nor a Winchester repeater. But practically all of them had a double barrel shotgun. Simple to use, reliable, and affordable. BTW, real nice-looking Colt, Santee. Hope you were able to buff out those scratches.

I really feel like this video needed to come with a disclaimer that no Colt revolvers were harmed in the making of this video.

My ex has a 1st Gen SSA .45 Colt Revolver that his grandfather won in a poker game. It was in France during WWI, and he won it as an IOU from a Texas Ranger. His grandfather and the Ranger exchanged addresses, but the Ranger never resurfaced, although his grandfather tried to find him. But this was the 1920s after a war and it wasn't easy to find someone. The gun got passed down in the family until my husband got it. The Ranger's address was lost sometime in the 50s. I was able to get a Certificate of Authenticity from Colt on the gun and gave it to my husband for Christmas one year. We never could find the Ranger. The gun was part of a shipment from Colt that shipped to St. Louis bound for Texas. The paperwork in St Louis that would have had the buyers name on it was lost in a fire. Oh well, it was a beautiful gun and still was in great shape and was very accurate.

On the topic of better engineered guns, it's a shame that S&W didn't offer the Schofield in .45 Colt. It was the better handgun, especially for cavalry, with it's top break action. It allowed for faster reloads and, with practice, one handed reloads on horseback. The Colt required two hands for reloading and couldn't eject the spent casings at once, like the Schofield could.

If Smith had come out with a .45 during the trial period, they may have won the contract with the Army.

Wasn't there a problem with the Scofield's top break malfunctioning? Any idea how prevalent that was if it did? Also, was there a specific reason why they didn't make a .45 version? I haven't seen the two revolvers in real life, so I'm kinda fuzzy on the relative dimensions. Was the Scofield's cylinder shorter and unsuitable for larger calibers?

@@eldorados_lost_searcher They made the Schofield to use a proprietary cartridge, the .45 Schofield. It was shorter than the .45 Colt. From what I've heard, it was for patent reasons, even though Remington made the 1875 in .45 Colt.
