Longevity in a handgun design is measured in years. A few classics have managed to last a few decades. But any gun that remains in production—and on dealer's shelves—for more than fifty years is a downright wonder.

The twists and turns in the history of the Peacemaker Colt and its many variations are unending and fascinating. Initially made in the 60s, Colt’s New Frontier six-shooters were adjustable-sighted, flat-topped Peacemakers in several different barrel lengths and calibers.

In the late 70s and early 80s, the ammunition industry was going crazy trying to match strides with the arms industry in the development of semi-automatic pistols. While gunmakers of the time were building the best revolvers in history, it was clear the service handgun of the future would be the semi-automatic pistol.

*When a woman knocked on the door, Donald Kaighn--an NRA member, World War II veteran and gun collector--opened it. Her car had broken down so Kaighn allowed the woman inside to use the phone, a favor she returned by spraying the 84-year-old's face with lighter fluid and hitting him in the head with the can. Kaighn grabed a Colt .32-cal. pistol while his assailant ran upstairs. He confronted her. "She said something like 'Stop or I'll shoot,'" Kaighn explained. "I immediately fired the gun." The woman briefly returned fire before leaping from the second story window with some of Kaighn's possessions. "I'm a member of the NRA and I subscribe to its policy of not being a vicitim," Kaighn said. "I don't want to hurt anybody." (WPVI-ABC6, Philadelphia, PA, 12/01/09)

The best part about working here is that we've had it and been shooting it long before most knew it existed.
