Colt’s 1836 Paterson failed, but the 1847 Walker – which was very effectively used during the Mexican/American War, put him back on the map. The Walker still is the most powerful handgun ever militarily issued and was the most powerful handgun on the earth until the 357 Magnum came along in 1935, nearly 100 years later.
In this video I show you how to use a Walker effectively, with little modifications and things that help make these reproductions not only more historically accurate, but more fun to shoot.
