Sam Colt's Paterson No1 Model Carbine

Cool Forgotten Weapons Merch! shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg...
Sam Colt's very first work was done in Baltimore, but this ended fairly quickly, and it was with his subsequent move to Paterson New Jersey that the first true production Colt firearms were made. Colt set up a small shop there and introduced both handguns and rifles using his patented system in which cocking the hammer of a revolver would rotate and index the cylinder. Initially the rifles and carbines were substantially more popular than the handguns, mainly because of caliber. The pistols were tiny .28 caliber pocket models, and remarkably underpowered, while the rifles were .40 caliber and more practical. Both were very expensive, though. Only 200 of these first model rifles/carbines were made, with 50 of them going to the Army for the Seminole Campaign in Florida.

Your show is incredibly relaxing to watch. It's a little like watching David Attenborough; the calm, collected, informative voice explaining things.

Considering the ‘chain fire’ hazard, the proper use of the off hand, on this rifle, could be practiced for an extremely high rate of fire.

A rifle with moving pictures? Killing AND entertaiment!? Now this is luxury.

Hey Ian, loved the video, I was wondering if you've ever done a video or plan to do one on the .22 Remington Jet round? My grandfather had a revolver chambered for it and I've been wanting to learn more about it.

Centaur with a rifle. HAHAH oh my God I cracked up.

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

Somebody must have loved this gun very much, they did not put one but TWO rings on it...

[@russbilzing5348]

So, comparably, Colt assumed the role, then, that Korth has, nowadays.

In 2015, the relative value of $150.00 from 1837 = $3,840.00

I’m close to 73 years old, very familiar with guns, and have never heard of this. Thank you for the education.

[@lumpychucks6457]

Thanks for posting. These guns would never be in my price range, but seeing them before going into the hands of a collector amazing.

[@PierceyeG]

It's always fascinating to see the plethora of firearm patterns that have been tested and tried through the years. Thank you for another interesting post and history lesson.

The Colt may lack of interchangeable parts production method like the Hall carbine, but the colt was the first adaptation of percussion priming on revolvers.

[@Bucky1836]

the Republic of Texas Used them as well as the Revolving Shotgun for the Marines and Navy and Cavalry......thats how the Texas Rangers under Captain Hayes got outfitted with surplus naval pattersons....fun fact the 1851 "Navy" was intended to be called the 1851 Ranger..but Navy stuck cause of the Republic of Texas Naval Battle scrolled on the cylinder
