Payment Types Accepted: Description: Colt Model 1902 Philippine Contract Double Action Revolver The model 1902, was derived from the Model 1878, that had a larger frame than the Model 1877, which allowed the 1878 to fire larger and more powerful cartridges such as the .45 Long Colt. The 1902 used the same ejector parts as the Single Action Army revolver and had a very similar cylinder. In 1902, 4,600 Model 1878 revolvers were produced for a U.S. Army contract. They were intended to equip the Philippine Constabulary, under Brigadier General Henry T. Allen, in the Phiippine Insurrection. These revolver had 6-inch barrels, hard rubber grips, and were chambered for the .45 Long Colt round. They had strengthened mainsprings and longer triggers to give the user more leverage, resulting in larger trigger guards. The strengthened mainspring was necessary to fire the .45 Government rounds which had a less sensitive primer compared the the civilian .45 LC ammunition. Many people have incorrectly assumed that this was to allow the revolver to be operated while wearing gloves, so "Alaskan Model" is a misnomer. These revolvers are officially designated the Model 1902 (1902) and are stamped 1902 and U.S. on the right side of the frame.
