LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Today is Pistol Patent Day. On Feb. 25, 1836, Samuel Colt was granted a patent for a "revolving gun." The rest is history. Take a look at Colt's original patent drawings here: http://nssf.it/1A6aiwW
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 "An elegant weapon for a more civilized age." My father's father was born in 1859, 23 years after this patent. It was only close to three generations ago in my family. Not really all that long ago...

You have grandkids?
