Ez pedig a Colt honlapjáról:http://www.coltsmfg.com/history.aspx
"Further change and growth came in the 1870’s. In 1872, Colt began to manufacture its first breech-loaded revolver that used self-contained metallic cartridges. That gun became world-famous as the Single Action ArmyŽ Model 1873 and it was designed to use metallic ammunition that contained its own primer. "
