Clint Eastwood seemed to have several different guns during that movie. A regular 1851 in the final scene, but a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion in the hotel-gun cleaning-spurs scene.
I desperately want to see a Samuel Colt TV series or something... but I know that the REAL stories just wouldn't be good enough as is, Hollywood would have to come up with their own narrative, and it would just end up being some "based on true events" 90% fabricated nonsense focused more on witty writing than telling the certifiably insane story that is the life of Samuel Colt. Ugh, all this talent, all these resources, a century of evolution of the medium, and they can't even put out a good product today(let alone be trusted to)... how the hell did we end up in this dystopia?
@@RyTrapp0 It is sad. Societal degradation and decadence almost always shows itself in the arts first. Nevermind any of the propagandistic flavors that have to be injected these days....
37:20 for anyone a bit lost on this point. Upper and lower refer to the direction of flow for the St Lawrence River. So upper is where the river is coming from and lower is going to. Same with the Nile and many other rivers
And here in Virginia, when we say "up the Valley" [referring to the Shenandoah Valley] we mean to the South, not North. Confuses the hell out of Yankees.
My favorite BP revolver And for those doubting this gun’s accuracy let me tell ya; Several years ago on thanksgiving I was at my friend’s house and we were sighting in our guns (to prepare them for the opening day of rifle season) And I had brought my Pietta 1851 colt clone with me, to show my friends and just curious on the guns accuracy I was firing at a metal gong that was 75 yards away, and amazingly I hit the target three time. Mind you, the rear sight on these types of revolvers are only seen when the hammer is cocked and are super tiny and the very fact that I was able to be that accurate is amazing
as a life long 45er? "I think" I will SOON add a Navy to my collection, as I recently became familiar with their feel, if anything Just to bark 38's in a conversion?
@@davefellhoelter1343 You can convert these revolvers to 38 long colt by using conversion cylinders, however you must use black powder or cowboy action loads only Because even though these are modern reproductions they are still bound by the weakens of the original design Hence why you can only use low power or black powder cartridges
Correct, I'm a biyt of a Smith built my 1st in 76 age 11 make my own BP corn and puck with paper cartridges, reload brass, pour lead. But I handled a NAVY and Wow! she was HANDY! Keep Your Smoke Poles SMOKING!@@ADRay1999
You can't beat the feel and balance of an 1851 Navy. I always tell people getting into BP revolvers to start with an 1851 and worry about the other models later.
As Col. Jeff Cooper wrote, the 1851 was the game changer in close combat. Two Navies could be carried comfortably on the belt, and not consigned to your saddle, as with the Walker or Dragoon. The .36 was certainly an upgrade from the .32 Pocket, and with the round ball, Elmer Keith figured it had the impact of a +P .38 special. Reliable (especially with fresh charges) and accurate enough even with the hammer-notch rear sight and stumpy front, for the first time a smaller individual was on tactical parity if not superiority with larger, more numerous individuals.
37:20 The names "Upper" and "Lower" Canada are in reference to the St. Lawrence River Ontario is up the St. Lawrence River from Quebec, thus "Upper Canada".
Upper and lower Canada: From the Atlantic you sail up the Saint Lawrence river to Quebec(lower Canada). You continue sailing up the river and porter past Niagara Falls to get to Ontario( upper Canada) it’s up the river and past the water fall. Once you have your series on colt percussion revolvers completed and recorded, would it be hard to edit them together into a coherent six hour video for snow days or other stuck at home times?
It is still a bit odd considering Upper Canada and Lower Canada ceased to exist in 1841. At the time these guns were acquired, the Province of Canada consisted of Canada East and Canada West. While the old terms were used by the public to some degree long after 1841, government property markings using them is odd.
You mention Russia having some of these. I'm not entirely sure that's accurate. While Russia did indeed purchase 3,000 of them, they spent the Crimean War comfortably resting in a Prussian warehouse. That is the tale of how they became the German Navy's first repeating pistol. It may also have contributed to Colt becoming somewhat less popular in London. On the 12th of August, 1855 a small article appeared in the daily newspaper Aachen Zeitung reporting that the local customs officials had discovered and confiscated Colt Revolvers and their accoutrements hidden in bales of cotton that were being shipped to Russia from New York via Antwerp. Twenty-four revolvers, powder flasks, bullet molds and nipple wrenches were found in each bale, with a total of 3,000 in the entire shipment. The story was translated and printed in London the next day. While not a belligerent, Prussia had closed its borders to all arms shipment to Russia. With the British Navy blockading the Baltic, Russia was effectively cut off from any arms shipments from the United States. So Colt decided to smuggle them. In1858, the Prussian government decided to issue 1,000 of the pistols to the Navy and sell the remainder at auction. The pistols were each stamped with a “K.M.” property mark and a weapon number on the top of the grip, just behind the hammer. The pistols were issued with the confiscated Colt powder flasks, nipple wrenches and bullet molds, along with German made holsters, cappers and nipple cleaning needles. The flasks, cappers and wrenches were also marked with the “KM” and number. An article in the Allgemeine Militär-Zeitung from December 25, 1858 indicated that the 1,000 pistols were in Danzig for issue in the coming year.
Now that is an interresting story! High quality comments like these very much contribute additional value to the already excellent content of this here channel.
I assume the "KM" stood for "Königliche Marine"? Couldn't have been "Kaiserliche Marine" at that time and "Kriegsmarine" was only used by the 3rd Reich if I'm not mistaken. Certainly an interesting story about arms smuggling during the 19th century.
@@lonelystrategos You are correct. Prussia was a Kingdom, so it translates to Royal Navy. I was interested in learning more about the Imperial Navy P.04s, so I ordered a book from Germany. When it came, there was a picture of the Colt on the cover. WTF?? Why is that there? Long story short, that book cost me a fortune. I had to have one of those pistols, which I eventually found in an antique store in the Netherlands. One thing led to another until I have German Navy small arms from its founding in 1848 to the end of the Empire in 1918.
I'd like to add that at that time there was nothing suspicious per se in Russian buying of cotton bales from the US, since domestic cotton-growing capacity was minimal and Central Asian imports were likewise lacking in quantity (hence the conquest of Central Asia during and after the US Civil war).
I have a scan of a tin type photo of my great-grandfather from 1862 when he joined the 15th KY Volunteer Calvary (Union army). In the photo he is holding an 1851 model "Navy" Colt revolver. My understanding is that the state government purchased the colts and then issued them to the calvary. One of my cousins later had the picture colorized.
If it was shot in a photographer’s studio you are probably correct. If it is field shot (out doors) like many of Mathew Brady’s and a few others it was probably his issued side arm.
Othais, thank you very much for your work. It's a pleasure to see a genuine researcher with a knack for teaching and dry humor doing their work. Your scripts are great! Extremely concise and focusing on human element, easy to follow, and filled with data.
I always enjoy C&Rsenal’s content. it is fun noticing the increasingly populated back wall of the studio, with the quantity of long guns aproaching critical mass.
Cool shirt, Othias! 37:23 These are easy to remember once you start to think about them in terms of their position along the region's major river (St Lawrence in this case): Upper in many geographical contexts is denoting the one closer to the source of the river, while Lower is the opposite.
37:20 Traditionally, "Upper" or "Lower" regions in territory are named for their relative elevation as judged by their position along the stream of a major river, or approach to a mountain range or other obvious height. Therefore in addition to Upper and Lower Canada, we have names like Upper and Lower Saxony, Upper and Lower Bavaria, and Upper and Lower Silesia, as well as the term The Low Countries or The Netherlands.
I like how this revolver was the most "globally recognized" revolver. Everyone used them. The Union The Confederacy United Kingdom Russia Prussia Japan Mexico France Australia Etc. Even managed to stay in service well after The 1873 and other more advanced revolvers were invented.

A very informative video. Sam Colt, for his short life span, was a very busy man. It appears that he influenced revolver design all over the world. And to have Elisha Root working for Colt was one of the best things to happen to Sam Colt. I think a lot of credit for the advancement of Colts guns needs to go to Elisha Root.
Yes!! More reprocussion! I love your standard videos but these ones always get me excited!! I've been checking every C&Rsenal notification hoping its more of this 😄😁
Upper and Lower Canada were so named due to the St. Lawrence River starting in "Upper" Canada where it would flow downwards into "Lower" Canada before entering into the Atlantic Ocean
Upper Canada vs Lower Canada, it's because the St Lawrence river (the main way in to the country at that point) flows from lake Ontario (upper) out to the sea through Quebec (downstream/lower)
This Pieper carbine was sitting there in both Argentinian 1891 Mauser episodes as well, and I have a suspicion that it is to these episodes that this carbine is spiritually related.
“Upper” and “lower” geographical designations almost always used to follow a major waterway - the Saint Lawrence River in this case, I assume. In Germany, it’s the river Rhine, so Low Germany is in the north, Upper and High Germany are to the south.
I know this series has been focusing on colt percussion revolvers, but are you considering expanding into weapons like the Remington 1858 (a lot of reproductions of them)
As a kid I had a cheap brass frame 1851 from Dixie Guns Works. It shot all over the place. My pal had an 1858 Remington that was WAY more accurate. I lost the 1851 years later at a biker party when the cops came and I ditched it in the woods. When I went back later to get it it was GONE. 😂
Thanks. I have a Remington .44. For a while have wanted an 1851. It just seems like a great size for s BP revolver. I looked. The repros aren't that expensive
Upper and Lower Canada pertain to elevation above sea level , not latitude. Once you understand that bit of Canada slopes downward to the sea as you travel northeast, then you'll know that you're climbing up the plateau when you travel southwest.
A bathroom was supplied for workers ? That’s outrageous next they’ll be asking to leave at night and go home to sleep in their own beds. These workers ask for so much and all they give back is 14-16 hour days, 6 days a week
Hey Ive got something like this, 51 pattern brass frame, but in 44 not 36. Somehow I only get revolvers when my buddies cars get screw up and they need cash, this is no different.
Unfortunately, that's not a direct reproduction of a historic Colt revolver. Colt never made a brass framed revolver, and the '51 Navy was always a .36 caliber.

it was called Upper Canada because it was on a higher elevation.

Wild Bill Hickok's favorite pistol! He carried one long after cartridge gun's were popular.
I really do love these episodes
Could the left/right trust be from rifling a long barrel and cutting it with some of the cut pieces being flipped?
No, because the twist will be same handed regardless of orientation, like a screw. They must've be manufactured separately.
Is that new opening theme (cadenza) from the Well Tempered Clavier?
Fumbling with coffee and making old man noises far far too old for my tender age at the sight of this episode.

I like the 1851 navy with square back trigger guard the best. But I'm kunfused @24:22, I thought London models was the with square-back trigger guard............
Strange how back in 1850s no one complained about cap-jams like I do on my Uberti 1851 navy, lets dig into that........
minute of Mae time stamps at 3:40 ; at 4:27 ; at 5:22 ; 26:40 (the main segment)- spoiler, No hyena laugh with this one folks, sorry; also at 35:43 the last one.
Crazy, I just bought one last weekend
The London 1851 just has that look that the original brass trigger guard 1851 lacks. I definitely prefer the former.
I use Ballistol
You guys should give the new cap loader by guns of the west. try his 12 cap capper. It's extremely good.
