Smith and Wesson No. 3 Model 1870s outsold the Colt SAA. 10s of 1000s were made right into the 1910s. When Hollywood sees fit to to put a S&W in a movie it is always a Scofield. Only 7500 were made, all were sold to the Army, surplused out to Bannerman's and butchered. Scofield revolvers couldn't shoot common .45 Colt or .44 S&W, only .45 Scofield. And where are the Merwin and Hulbert revolvers in movies? They were the number 3 sellers behind Smith & Wesson, and Colt.

Good morning Santee. Its 30 degrees outside and its coffee time. The DA revolver definitely had a teething phase and the M1877 were buggy and fragile.. It often earned it's nickname of "gunsmiths best friend". But the M1878 was an improvement, and there were a number of rivals. The popular and reliable Webley Bulldog was also popular in multiple clones. And the US Army adopted the M1892 DA.

The 1878 Colt is a rare gun { the one pictured } only 4600 revolvers produced and purchased for issue to the Philippine Constabulary. Many people call it the Alaskan because of the large trigger guard and they are wrong, it was done to lengthen the trigger to allow more leverage, the gun had a terribly heavy trigger pull in double action.

Not much is made of double actions in Hollywood westerns. Occasionally you'd spot an actor using one in a scene, but they were never shot in close-up. Both Alan Ladd & Jack Palance used them in the final climactic shootout scene in "Shane", but the director George Stevens cleverly hid this fact by the use of camera angles, low lighting & fast action. I suppose both actors may have preferred them for their ease of use in that action sequence, but when it was all over, shot in close-up, Alan Ladd (actually gun handler) spun his 7 1/2 nickel plated, ivory handled, Colt Single Action back into his holster.

A few years ago I bought a 32 Caliber break top revolver, It was quite Rusty and only cost me fifty bucks. Once I cleaned it up I could see clearly that it was manufactured in Massachusetts in 1870. I don't know what it's worth and i don't want to. I keep in my desk, I let my nephew play with it.

Be neat if it could tell it's own story.

Amazing. Gotta love double actions. I almost bought a original thunder but then a muzzleloader Wesley Richards showed up and I fell in love. I guess I'll stick with my ruger vaquero for now as my cowboy six gun.

I found some new information. Nicely done. When I heard "Webley", "Webley Fosberry" instantly came to my mind. A semi-auto revolver might a little too modern for the old west. I still mostly prefer the old single action revolvers and lever action rifles. They are almost a nice as the Hawken rifle.
