In many battles of the day, more horses than men died.<\/p>\n<p>The Colt SAA may not have been the most advanced revolver of the day, but it was robust, well balanced, and fast into action.

So long as Americans love cowboy movies and drovers, the SAA is likely to remain popular.<\/p>\n<h2>Colt\u2019s .41 Frame Revolvers<\/h2>\n<p>Colt\u2019s revolvers spanned several frame sizes. Among the most popular was the Official Police in .41 Long Colt. The .41 Colt is a lousy, old round firing a .384-inch bullet at low velocity. Just the same, it was superior to the lackluster .38 Colt.<\/p>\n<p>The .38 Special is a good choice for these handguns. Perhaps the finest of these revolvers is the Colt Three-Fifty-Seven. With production beginning in the 1950s and ending in 1963, the Three-Fifty-Seven is a smooth, accurate, and a superbly fast-handling revolver. While it was not as popular as the Smith and Wesson Combat Magnum, a Colt man could do great shooting with this handgun. The fixed sight Official Police was much the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Colt Python<\/h2>\n<p>The newly reintroduced <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/colt-python-three-inch-barrel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colt Python<\/a> is a shooters dream. The new revolver is stronger than the original and better suited to a steady shooting regimen. Each are deluxe revolvers with a heavy barrel, distinctive barrel rib, and hand honed action. These are fantastic shooting guns for the revolver shooter willing to master their unique action. While the original demands scalper prices, the new revolver is also a great shooter. Nothing has quite the bling of the Colt Python.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"350\" alt=\"Colt Python revolver, chrome, left profile\" class=\"wp-image-85094 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=150%2C82&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=640%2C350&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=640%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Colt Python revolver, chrome, left profile\" class=\"wp-image-85094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-10.jpg?resize=150%2C82&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Colt Python is perhaps the most easily recognizable revolver in the world. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Smith and Wesson Combat Magnum (Model 19, Model 66)<\/h2>\n<p>The late Bill Jordan labeled the Combat Magnum \u2018a peace officers dream.\u2019 In the mid 1950s, metal science and heat treating had advanced to the point that a K-Frame revolver could be chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge.

In the early 1970s, Charter Arms introduced the five-shot .44 Special Bulldog. The Bulldog was a sensation. Later versions were offered in .357 Magnum.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"483\" alt=\"Charter Arms revolver, right profile\" class=\"wp-image-85101 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=640%2C483&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=640%2C483&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Charter Arms revolver, right profile\" class=\"wp-image-85101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-Best-Revolvers-17.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Charter Arms Bulldog, Pug, and Boxer revolvers are workmanlike designs capable of defending your person from harm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The six-shot Boxer is a light, handy .38 Special version of the Bulldog.
