Colt 1877 "Lightning", .38 Long Colt caliber. Box of .41 Colt cartridges. Billy the Kid had a "Thunderer" in .41 caliber. This is the first double-action trigger Colt, meaning one pull of the trigger cocks and fires the hammer. The double-ction mechanism was found to be weak and broke often. The lineage from the 1873 Cold Single Action Army, or Peacemaker, is obvious in the ejector system.
