RIFLE CALIBER Self Defense/Target Pistol
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Colt Bisley Model Single Action Army Revolver in .32-20 Winchester, or .32 WCF, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1904. The Colt Bisley was introduced in 1894 and continued until 1912 as an accurate target pistol. The name Bisley came from the famous firing range in Bisley, England. The Colt Bisley can be distinguished by its more curvaceous grip frame, the wider hammer spur, and the wider trigger. Bisley revolvers were serial-numbered in the range of 156300–331916, in the same sequence as the other Single Action Army revolvers.
All Bisley revolvers after No. 161,376 had “BISLEY MODEL” with the caliber stamped on the left side of the barrel, as is this example. The most common were in the American calibers of .32-20, .38-40, .45 Colt, .44-40, .41 Long Colt, and also in the British calibers of .450 Eley and .455 Eley. A total number of 44,350 Bisley revolvers were manufactured. Most Bisley Standard Model revolvers shipped to a United States address were not used for target shooting, but for self-defense, because the grip and hammer were ideal for fast shooting.
These pistols made excellent companions to rifles at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns.
The overall condition is nearing fine. Traces of original blue and case colors are present. Excellent action. The bore is mostly bright with strong rifling. Markings are legible. Both grips are seated firmly, contain an average about of handling wear and edge chips. Visible numbers match.
