Colt M1892 New Army Commercial .38 LC Made 1902
Description: The M1892 was designed to replace the Model 1873 in U.S. Army service. Army trials with the Navy Model 1889 (the first Colt with a swing out cylinder) between 1890 and 1891 showed that design’s weaknesses in its locking system. The cylinder could potentially turn when holstered. Modifications to the design resulted in the Model of 1892 which was accepted for service. The 1892 is strange compared to later Colt revolvers as its cylinder turns counter-clockwise like the Smith & Wesson hand-ejectors. Unfortunately, direction of rotation would attempt to push the yoke/cylinder unit out of the frame as the trigger was pressed. Wear over time would eventually result in the cylinder being out of time. As a result of these findings, improvements were made to the locking mechanism resulting in the Model 1894/1896 Army Model. The Army Models true Achilles heel however, was the cartridge it was chambered for, the .38 Long Colt. During the Philippines Campaign (1899-1902), it was found the .38 LC had little stopping power against charging enemy combatants wielding machetes, even with multiple hits. For this reason, the M1892/1894/1896 models were ultimately replaced by the .45 Colt-chambered M1909 New Service revolver in 1909. The revolver presented here is an example of the commercial Model 1892 produced in 1902. It has a 4.5” barrel and “rubber” Colt grips. The rubber technology available at the turn of the century was limited and in most cases the rubber hardened over time and today the grips look more like plastic grips. Most end up fracked or broken, however this example’s grips are in perfect condition. The majority of the bluing has been lost with time, but the pistol remains in good mechanical condition. The bore does show some pitting which is not surprising given the age and the common use of corrosive primers back in those days. The trigger pull is somewhat heavy compared to later Colt DA revolvers. Still the M1892 was important step in the evolution of Colt’s revolvers and it can be said that the lessons learned here directly influenced the decision to switch to the clock-wise rotating cylinder and tighter lockup that Colt’s DA revolvers are famous for. A word of caution. Most revolvers chambered for .38 Long Colt do not have shoulders inside the chambers to allow the use of the .38 Short Colt (which uses an outside lubricated bullet like the .22 Long Rifle; frontal bullet diameter is .375”). As a result, the longer .38 Special will fit inside the chamber. No revolver in .38 Long Colt should ever be fired using the .38 Special as this is beyond the pressures the revolver was designed to handle. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Colt's PT. F.A. Mfg.
