This video explores a fascinating Colt prototype, the 'Root' Dragoon, which represents an experimental .44 caliber revolver developed during the period of the 1860 Army revolver. It was based on the design of the 1855 Pocket revolver, also known as the Root, which was a solid-frame design used in Colt's revolving rifles and shotguns. The prototype is the only known surviving example and offers a unique look into Colt's developmental process and potential alternatives to scaling up the 1851 Navy pattern. The video highlights its excellent condition and its significance as a glimpse into "what might have been."
