Classic COLT Model 1877 “LIGHTNING” .38 Long Colt Double Action C&R REVOLVER Iconic Double Action Revolver Made in 1900
Description: Classic COLT Model 1877 “Lightning” .38 Long Colt Double Action C&R REVOLVER Iconic Double Action Revolver Made in 1900 Here we present a Colt 1877 Lightning Double Action Revolver, made in 1900 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1877 was Colt’s first venture into double action revolvers. It was quite successful, selling 166,849 from 1877 through 1909. 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, along with “Doc” Holliday. Doc’s weapon of choice early in his western career was an 1851 Colt Navy revolver. Later, Doc carried a nickel-plated .41 caliber Colt Thunderer or the .38 caliber Colt Lightning. The Model 1877 was offered in three calibers, which lent them three unofficial names: the "Lightning", the "Thunderer", and the "Rainmaker". Neither "Lightning" nor "Thunderer" were Colt designations, nor used by the factory in any reference materials. Both terms were coined by Benjamin Kittredge, one of Colt's major distributors. The principal difference between the models was the cartridge in which they were chambered. The "Lightning" being chambered in .38 Long Colt and the "Thunderer" in .41 Long Colt. Both models had a six-round ammunition capacity. An earlier model in .32 Colt known as the "Rainmaker" was offered in 1877. The overall condition is very good. Original blue and case colors that are great throughout most of the revolver. The grip frame shows the most lost of the blue finish. The action is strong and the cylinder indexes and locks up tight on 5 out of the 6 chambers—there is one that does not. The bore is in great shape, bright with nice rifling. The markings are clear and numbers match. A handsome example of the Colt 1877 from 1900! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches. Caliber: .38 Long Colt Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
