Samuel Colt was born in Hartford, Connecticut on July 19, 1814. He showed an early fascination with science, and during his youth, Colt studied both chemistry and mechanics. While still a boy, he attempted to produce a pistol that was capable of firing multiple shots without reloading, but his efforts were unsuccessful.

In 1830-31, while the sixteen year-old Colt was serving as a seaman aboard the brig Corvo, he observed the ship’s wheel and the relationship of the various spokes to the center hub. This inspired him to make a wooden model of a revolving pistol. Colt Trooper Mk III 22 Magnum Revolver  for sale
