“Sheriff’s Model” COLT Model 1877 “LIGHTNING” Double Action Revolver C&R
Iconic Revolver Used by BILLY the KID & DOC HOLLIDAY
Description: “Sheriff’s Model” COLT Model 1877 “Lightning” Double Action Revolver C&R Iconic Revolver Used by BILLY the KID & DOC HOLLIDAY Here we present a C&R “Sheriff’s Model” Colt Model 1877 Lightning Double Action Revolver, made in 1906 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1877 was Colt’s first venture into double action revolvers. It was quite successful, selling 166,849 from 1877 through 1909. Nonetheless, there was some hesitation to move away from the single action mechanism, which had so proven itself. Famous adopters of the Lightning were William “Billy the Kid” Bonney and John Wesley Hardin, along with “Doc” Holliday. Doc’s weapon of choice early in his western career was an 1851 Colt Navy revolver. Later, Doc carried a nickel-plated .41 caliber Colt Thunderer or the .38 caliber Colt Lightning. The Model 1877 was designed in 1876 by William Mason and was offered in three different calibers with production beginning in January 1877, which led to the three unofficial names. The first production model was the “Lightning”, in .38 Long Colt caliber. None of the nicknames were ever used by the factory in any reference materials. The overall condition is fine. Original finish and patina. Excellent action. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. Colt’s trademark rampant colt hard rubber grips. Numbers match. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 3-1/2 inches. Caliber: .38 Long Colt Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2200 #228297 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
