This video delves into the Colt Lightning, a pump-action rifle introduced by Colt in 1884 to compete in the rifle market, particularly against Winchester. The description details its development, including the Colt Burgess lever-action and an alleged agreement with Winchester. It breaks down the three main models of the Lightning: the medium frame (chambered in .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40), the larger "Express" version (in various calibers), and the small .22 rimfire model. Production numbers and the success of each variant are discussed, highlighting the medium and small frames' popularity over the Express model.
