About Colt Firearms

Founded by Samuel Colt in 1836, Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company, as it was initially known, played a significant role in shaping the landscape of firearms innovation and production.

Credited with revolutionizing the firearm industry with his invention of the revolving cylinder, or the "revolver," Samuel Colt's design allowed multiple shots to be fired without reloading after each round, providing a significant advantage in firepower.

Colt's first commercially successful revolver was the Colt Paterson, introduced in 1836 and laid the foundation for Colt's future success.

During the mid-19th century, Colt Firearms expanded its operations and gained international recognition. The company produced a range of revolvers, including the Colt Dragoon, Colt Navy, and Colt Army models, which became iconic firearms of the American West.

The introduction of the Colt Single Action Army revolver in 1873, commonly known as the "Colt Peacemaker," solidified Colt's reputation for producing reliable and durable firearms.

This legendary revolver became a symbol of the American frontier and played a pivotal role in expanding the Western United States.


Colt Firearms continued to innovate throughout the 20th century. They introduced semi-automatic pistols like the Colt Model 1911, designed by John Moses Browning, which became the standard sidearm for the United States Armed Forces for many decades.

Today, Colt continues to produce a range of firearms, including handguns, rifles, and carbines. Their products uphold the legacy of quality, reliability, and craftsmanship that the company has been known for throughout its history.
