Colt realizing the popularity of the Winchester 1873 rifles chambered in .44 WCF and realizing that their .45 colt cartridge was nearly the same length as the Winchester rifle cartridge decided to build a Frontier model of their famous 1873 SAA revolver in the .44 WCF caliber but did not want to advertise Winchesters name on their guns so simply renamed the cartage as the 44-40.

The Bisley Target Model was introduced around 1895. The Bisleys’ unsightly grip cannot be appreciated until one unholsters this arm and points down range. It is then that you will understand and appreciate the Bisley. The model’s popularity was high with target shooters and lawmen because of its accuracy.
