This video from Brownells Gun Techs Keith Ford and Steve Ostrem showcases two exceptional Colt Model 1877 Double-Action Revolvers from the Rock Island Auction Company. The presenters highlight these "Lightning" (.38 Long Colt) and "Thunderer" (.41 Long Colt) models, noting their rarity and historical significance compared to the Colt Single Action Army. They discuss the Model 1877's complex and fragile action, which often deterred gunsmiths. The featured revolvers are described as nickel-plated with extensive engraving and Mother of Pearl grips, representing a more advanced double-action capability for their era. The description also mentions famous historical figures who carried this model, such as Billy the Kid and John Wesley Hardin, and its production lifespan.
