The Model 1877 was Colt’s first venture into double action revolvers. It was quite successful, selling 166,849 from 1877 through 1909, primarily in .38 and .41 calibers. Nonetheless, there was some hesitation to move away from the single action mechanism, which had so proven itself. Famous adopters of the Lightning were William “Billy the Kid” Bonney and John Wesley Hardin, two legendary names of the American West. The left side of the barrel is marked “COLT. D. A. 38”. The left side of the frame, underneath the cylinder is marked “PAT.SEPT.10.1871/ PAT.SEPT.15.1874/ PAT.JAN.19.1875” The top of the barrel is marked “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD, CT U.S.A.”.
