Colt ~ New Line ~ .32 Rimfire

Description:
This USED Colt New Line .32 caliber single action revolver was made in 1874 in Hartford, Connecticut. This small pocket revolver was one of a number of inexpensive handguns produced by Colt from 1873 to 1884. The "New Line" was Colt's first production model handgun chambered for .32 caliber and outnumbered all other pistols in Colt's "New Line" group. This revolver utilized a .32 rimfire cartridge matched to a 5-shot fluted cylinder fitted to a 2 ¼" long round barrel. About 22,000 were produced in this caliber. This revolver was designed to be a small but potent self-defense revolver for stowing in one's pocket in the 19th Century. Spur Trigger "Suicide Special" manufacturing was fierce during this time, and Colt struggled to compete against the countless small shops making very similar, less expensive revolvers, though not necessarily of the same quality. The Colt remained a steady, reliable force in firearms for much longer than the rest. This revolver features 5 shots of .32 Rimfire, an engraved nickel finish and pearl grips. .32 Rimfire
