CO LT'S REVOLVERS , OR PATENT REPEATING PISTOLS . 1 st . —Army , or Holster Pistol . 2 nd . —Navy , or Bblt Pistol . 3 rd . —Pocket Three-inch Barbel Pistol . 4 th . —Pocket Foub-inch Babbel Pistol . 6 th . —Pocket Five-inch Babbel Pistol . 6 th . —Pocket Six-inch Babbel Pistol . The Bullet Mould , Nipple Wrench , and Screw Driver , Powder Flask , and Box of Caps , with printed directions for loading and cleaning , form the only fittings necessary for the Pistol Case . The peculiar excellencies of Colt's " Revolver" are well known . For safety , simplicity , durability , accuracy , and celerity of fire , force of penetration , and security against moisture , they possess important advantages both for public and private service . The barrel is rifle bored . The lever or rammer does away the need of wadding or patch . The hammer , when at full cock , forms the sight by which to take aim , and it is readily raised to full cock by the thumb , without using both hands ; and it has been tested by long and actual experience . This arrangement is superior to those weapons in which tho hammer is raised b y pulling at tho trigger , the strength ofthe pull necessary for this purpose interfering with the correctness of aim , which is of so much importance . Specimens of Colt ' s Fiee-akms , which attracted universal attention , and obtained unqualified approbation at the Gjikat Exhibition , may be seen , and instructions obtained for procuring them for tho use of Oflicers in Heb Majebty ' n and tho Hon . East India Company ' s Military and Naval Skbvicjsh , and for Expoutatiow , &c , on application at Colonel Colt ' s Ovvickh , No . 1 , Spring Gardens , Cookspur Street , London .
