Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Been trying to find out why Colt built his 1851 "London" Navies using steel backstraps and trigger guards as opposed to brass. Looked everywhere and can't find a reason why. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Maybe the English wanted them that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I’ve wondered about that myself. I would sure like to know the answer, too. Maybe I’ll do a little research now myself. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Sam Colt was a savvy business man. I suspect the steel grip frame on the Navy London model was cheaper to make in England than a brass grip frame. Just guessing, no references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
