From the Vault: Bob Dalton's Colt Single Action Army Revolver
Спорт
Brownells Gun Techs and resident firearm historians Steve and Keith have donned their best Saturday night goin'-into-town duds and returned to Rock Island Auction Company to show us a very rare, beautifully preserved, lavishly engraved Colt Single Action Army revolver (aka, Peacemaker, Model 1873, Model P, SAA). It was originally owned by Bob Dalton of the Dalton Gang, a group of outlaws active all over the West ca. 1890 to '92. Only 10 of these guns were made, two going to Bob Dalton and two each to his brothers Emmett and Grat, the rest to other members of the gang. They carried these revolvers during the Coffeyville Raid, an attempt to rob TWO banks simultaneously in Coffeyville, Kansas, on October 5, 1892. The robbery was foiled by a number of armed citizens, and a bloody shootout resulted in the deaths of four gang members, including Bob Dalton, and four citizens. (Emmett suffered some 20 to 25 gunshot wounds but miraculously survived.) Bob's Colt ended up as a souvenir on display in a Coffeyville department store for many years. One of the other nine Peacemakers has passed through Rock Island Auctions, but the fate of the remaining eight guns is not known. Bob's Colt is a "black powder frame" gun. Keith explains what that means and how you can tell a black powder frame from a smokeless powder frame on a Single Action Army.

Ironic that gun is probably worth more than all the money the Dalton gang ever stole.

They are one of the finest examples of human ingenuity. From throwing rocks, to throwing melted rocks really fast with an explosion.

And cheap too!
These guns are special, these are probably the most time tested firearms that people still regularly use today
Damn that’s a beauty
Wow that's a amazing gun and the story with it even makes it more amazing thank you for sharing this
*Im a little excited for this video thanks for showing us another great firearm*
Nice video watching from France and waiting to see more of you ! Thank's
I love your guys take on the auction guns. Absolute beautiful piece. Keep them coming!
Love the Colt .45 caliber SAA Peacemaker.
I’ve most certainly held at least one or more of these revolvers! Sounds crazy, but a fact! Some were in the collection of my Great Grandfather in New Orleans,La.!!!
Very cool. Thanks for posting!
Great video thank you
Honey can I remortgage the house....
A very beautiful gun & excellent attire to present it ❤
Incredible.
A beautiful piece of history, thank you. I once held a rifle worth $40K; made me nervous...
Very good information and video such a amazing piece of history I truly appreciate the history an presentation of this piece.thank you. I do wounder about the other 9 guns how have 9 guns so beautifully ingraved disappeared even souvenir hunters stealing them at the time of the killing of the Dalton gang you would have thought they'd turn up at least a couple more of them maybe not all 9 but a couple. Again thank you.
These are great pistols don't regret owning one although not as old lol.. but none the less wonderful works of art and weaponry.
Nice piece.
Now that's a real cowboy cowboys gun.
Is it a particularly *lucky* find?
The greatest handgun ever made. 6 bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.

It's good to know you are saving this stolen artifact for Bob Dalton's rightful heirs. Keep it in good condition until they come to collect it. Thanks.

Bob Dalton was a murderer and thief. Even today his weapons would have been confiscated.

Why would they give it back to the family when they can sell it for 300k+
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Even outlaws had a 2A right. No question. Now "God given rights" are human privileges and the law abiding adore criminals of the past.
Okay I don't have too many things that I get a pet peeve about. But I'm really getting sick of not only mainstream media using this term in a incorrect term but are even our gun channels keep doing it. Point Blank Range does not mean up close shooting. It is time for it to be taught correctly what point blank range or ranging is
