Like I said, the 1847 Colt Walker wasn't invented by a Texas Ranger, but really, Sam Colt didn’t even invent the revolver. He patented an improvement on revolving firearms in 1836 and through vicious patent protection monopolized the market on revolving pistols in the US. pic.twitter.com/eW7XKUFSg2
