This video delves into the history and specifications of the Colt Model 1839 Paterson Revolving Rifle. It highlights the improvements made over the earlier 1837 model, focusing on its increased robustness and power. The description details the rifle's six .525" chambers and significant powder capacity. It also provides context on the limited production run (around 950 units) and its military sales to the US War Department, Republic of Texas, and Rhode Island. Despite its advancements, the 1839 model was not ultimately successful enough to sustain Colt's Paterson factory.
