Sam Colt's Paterson No1 Model Carbine
This video explores Sam Colt's very first production firearms, the Paterson No1 Model Carbine, manufactured in Paterson, New Jersey. Unlike his later handguns, these early rifles and carbines were significantly more popular due to their larger .40 caliber compared to the underpowered .28 caliber pistols. The description highlights that only 200 of these firearms were produced, with a portion issued to the Army for the Seminole Campaign. The video likely delves into the historical significance and design of this foundational Colt firearm.
