→Legend of the Colt
The first type of production handgun made by the real Samuel Colt is a [http://civilwarhandgun.com/paterson.htm Texas Paterson 1836]. ''Supernatural'' Prop Master Chris Cooper found a replica of the gun at a Las Vegas gun show. The original revolver was a powder and cap gun, but the ''Supernatural'' prop department made a new revolver piece that could take cartridges.<ref>[[S1Com]]</ref>
Although not obvious to anyone not familiar with the Paterson model, "the Colt" does in fact, have a trigger. While the Colt Paterson Revolvers in general, as well as "the Colt" do not have trigger guards, the trigger for these revolvers are inset flush into base of the frame, and drop down automatically when the hammer is cocked. The trigger can be clearly seen behind Bobby's finger when he is test-firing it in the scene where Ruby first appears to help him restore modify it to restore its Demon demon killing abilities. The trigger and the hammer can also be seen up close when Sam kills the Alpha Vampire with The Colt in [[12.14 The Raid]].
