Live Breaking News & Updates on Texas Ranger Captain Samuel Walker

The Colt Paterson was invented in 1831 by Samuel Colt and named the Paterson for the Colt company in Paterson, New Jersey. It was patented in 1836 and became synonymous with the Republic of Texas which served as a proving ground for the revolving .36 caliber. It was the first practical revolving cylinder revolver ever made. Initially, it was a .28 caliber five-cylinder followed a year later by .36 caliber. Originally it had no loading lever and had to be partially disassembled to re-load. In 1839 a loading lever and a capping window were installed into the design to allow reloading without disassembly. Colt retrofitted the earlier models to include a loading lever and capping window.
