This "American Rifleman Television" segment explores the history and variations of the Colt Model 1877 revolver, specifically focusing on the "Lightning" model. Originally designed to compete with emerging double-action revolvers, the Model 1877 had three variants: Lightning, Thunderer, and Rainmaker. These distinct names were marketing terms introduced by a major Colt distributor, B. Kittredge & Company, to differentiate between the various chamberings of the pistol. The video highlights the context of its development in the 1870s and its place in Colt's product line.
