By the mid-1850s, Samuel Colt had secured the patents and the financial security to begin mass-producing the pistols bearing his last name. Sustained by orders for his gun from the British government and supplemented by popularity among Texas volunteers (forerunner to the Texas Rangers), Colt founded a new armory (Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company) in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1855.
