It used to be a saying the "God made some men bigger than others but Old Man Colt made eveners." This is a book about those eveners; another book, if you will, about the gun which has been the hero of more pager by more writers of both fact and fiction than any other gun in history; the gun most wanted by collectors; the gun with so many admirers that neither its detractors nor its makers could kill it - the Colt Single Action Revolver.
