Sam and Dean travel back in time to 1861 to use the Colt to kill a [[phoenix]]. The Colt remains in the past, possibly passing into the hands of a local saloon owner by the name of Elkins. When Samuel Colt returned to Sunrise, Wyoming to retrieve the phoenix ashes, he also left the Colt with the saloon keeper along with the special bullets for it with the hopes that it will eventually end up with Sam.
In 2006, John Winchester discovers the gun in the possession of a [[hunter]] named [[Daniel Elkins]]. Azazel makes efforts to regain it in order to open the Devil'''Quote from s Gate in Wyoming in order to form a demon army on Earth. While [[Jake Talley]], who has been recruited by Azazel, opens the gate for a short time, Azazel is killed when Dean shoots him with the Colt, using the final bullet.

Castiel went downstairs with every intent to kill Kelly, but he couldn't do it.After Sam and Dean had caught up with them, they explained their plan to make the Nephilim into a human by extracting its grace so both the baby and Kelly can live, but Kelly refused to let them do it because she wants her child to be born with its powers.After waiting in the Impala, Kelly had taken the keys and drove away with Castiel intending to go to [[Metatron's Cube|Heaven's Gate]], leaving the Colt with Sam and Dean. When they say this arrived, they discovered that Dagon had caught up with them after killing Hozai, Kelvin, and Joshua when he appeared.

In reality, the [http://www.guns.com/review/colt-paterson-reproduction-by-pietta-is-a-worthwhile-experience/ Colt Paterson], which is the first Revolver ever built, is surprisingly difficult to load. It can be assumed that the gun itself was modified in [[3.04 Sin City]] when [[Bobby]] agreed to let [[Ruby]] restore its supernatural killing abilities which would explain how it can be easily reloaded without undergoing the painstakingly long process of deconstructing its barrel. See: ''[http://www.guns.com/2012/07/30/colt-paterson/ History of the Colt Paterson].'' '''Bullets''': The 13 bullets made by Samuel Colt are engraved with numbers. Whenever The Colt fires a bullet, a cross within a circle along with a few vestiges of ancient scripture appear on the tip of it and burns orange-red right before it hits anything. It was first noticed in [[2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two]] when Dean uses the final original bullet in the chamber to kill [[Azazel]]. Whenever the Colt was used in [[Season 12]], the cross can be seen in [[12.14 The Raid]] when the [[Alpha Vampire]] was killed by Sam and [[12.17 The British Invasion]] when [[Eileen Leahy]] intended to shoot [[Dagon]], but hits [[Renny Rawlings]] when she teleports out of the way. The cross appears to resemble a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_potent Cross Potent], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_cross Sun Cross], or a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringed_cross Ringed Cross]. The closest match appears to be the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Benedict_Medal Cross of Saint Benedict] which has been used for centuries to ward off evil, alluding to the inscription on the barrel of the gun. Ruby was able to build more bullets for the Colt in [[3.04 Sin City]], and later in [[12.14 The Raid]], Sam relates that Bobby had learned the method from her and passed it on to him. The process requires [[holy oil]], sage and myrrh.

'''Other Uses'''
* In [[2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two]] the [[: The Colt]] is used by [[Jake]] as a key to open the [[Devil's Gatein Wyoming]] in Wyoming.* In [[3.04 Sin City]], : [[Ruby]] helps [[Bobby]] rebuild the Colt so and create new bullets for it will kill demons. [[Sam ]] then uses it to kill [[Father Gil]] and [[Casey]]. This also marks the first time the Colt bullets now give off an orange-red hue when they kill a demon much like the bullet's effects with [[Azazel]], but now it is for every demon Sam and Dean use the Colt on.* [[3.05 Bedtime Stories]]: Sam uses the Colt to kill a [[crossroads demon]].* [[3.07 Fresh Blood]]: [[Dean]] shoots a [[vampire]] with it. This is the first time after Ruby helps Bobby make more bullets for the Colt, as well as the last time (so far), that we've seen the blue-colored hue being used after Dean kills the vampire. It can be suggested that the blue hue is only used against monsters now.* [[3.09 Malleus Maleficarum]]: First Dean threatens to shoot Ruby with it, but Sam stops him. Later Sam tries to shoot [[Tammi]] with the Colt, but she stops the bullet in mid-air. * [[3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me]]: [[Bela]] steals the Colt.* [[3.15 Time Is on My Side]]: [[Bela]] gave the Colt to [[demon]]s to try and get her way out of her [[crossroads]] [[deal]], but it doesn't go as planned for her.* [[5.09 The Real Ghostbusters]]: [[Becky]] tells Sam that in [[Chuck]]'s book of ''Time Is on My Side'', [[Bela]] gave the Colt to a [[crossroads demon]] named [[Crowley]] instead of [[Lilith]].* [[5.10 Abandon All Hope...]]: Crowley used it to kill two of his "hench-demons" and gives the Colt to the Winchesters along with some more bullets. During the hunt that follows, Dean shoots and presumably kills a [[hellhound]] with the Colt. The boys then track down [[Lucifer]] and Dean shoots him straight through the head but [[Lucifer]] is unharmed and he flings Dean towards the trees and the Colt is last seen in Dean's hand after he lands. He also mentions he is one of five things in all of Creation that the Colt cannot kill. <ref name="five10">[[5.10 Abandon All Hope...]]</ref>* [[12.14 The Raid]]: Sam uses it to kill the [[Alpha Vampire]] with a shot through the head.* [[12.17 The British Invasion]]: [[Eileen Leahy]] accidentally kills [[Renny Rawlings]] when [[Dagon]] vanishes as she takes her shot.* [[12.18 The Memory Remains]]: Sam uses it to kill the god [[Moloch]].* [[12.19 The Future]]: Castiel attempted to kill Dagon with the Colt, but she teleported out of the way, while the bullet struck the wall. ===The Five Things the Colt Can't Kill===[[Lucifer]] says that there are only five things in all of creation that can't be killed by the Colt and that he is one of them. One point of conjecture is whether Lucifer meant five individuals, or five types of beings. The [[Alpha Vampire]] confirms that there are "five creatures" that the Colt cannot kill which some fans take as meaning individuals rather than five specific species of monsters. [[Azazel]] is the only demon to have survived being shot with the Colt, due in part to being shot in the leg rather than the head or the heart.<ref name="one22">[[1.22 Devil's Trap]]</ref> The Colt has been shown to kill:* Humans* [[Demons]] (including [[crossroads demons]] and [[Princes of Hell]])* [[Alphas]] (such as the [[Alpha Vampire]])* [[Monsters]] (such as the [[Phoenix]] and [[Vampires]])* [[Deities|Pagan gods]] (such as [[Moloch]]) There is speculation about what other powerful beings may not be killed by the Colt including:* [[God]] / [[Chuck]] and [[the Darkness]] / [[Amara]] – Given their respective status' as the [[The Cosmic Balance|cosmic embodiment]] of light and darkness, it is likely they are not vulnerable to the Colt.* [[Archangels]] – [[Lucifer]] is shown to be invulnerable to the Colt, but a head shot disorients him for a few seconds. This suggests that archangels are immune to the Colt's powers. * [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] – [[Famine]], [[Pestilence]] and [[War]] were rendered powerless with the removal of their rings, so they could possibly be vulnerable to the Colt. [[Death]] maintains its power even without its ring, and seems to be more powerful than the other Horsemen. Given Death's claim it would eventually reap God, it may be invulnerable to the Colt as it appears only [[Death's Scythe]] is capable of killing Death. Though Lucifer was also shown to be able to smite Death, whether or not the Colt would work on the Entity is still unknown. * [[Cain]] – When bearing the [[Mark of Cain]], which was given to him by Lucifer, this may have protected him from the Colt. However, he was a [[Knight of Hell]], lower in the hierarchy than the [[Princes of Hell]] who could be killed by the Colt, implying that the Colt can kill Cain.* [[Eve]] – No clear evidence either way, however as she is dead it is a moot point. ==Episodes=====[[1.20 Dead Man's Blood]]===When [[Daniel Elkins]] is killed, he leaves a note for [[John Winchester]] saying that he had "it" (along with the five remaining bullets) in his possession. John is interested in retrieving it since the Colt can supposedly kill anything supernatural, it could possibly be used to kill [[the Yellow-Eyed Demon]] and avenge [[Mary Winchester|Mary]]'s death. After retrieving the Colt from the [[vampires]] who killed Elkins and looted his property, John uses it to kill the [[vampire]] pack leader, [[Luther]], proving that the gun is the one he's been searching for, as an ordinary revolver would not have killed a vampire. ===[[1.21 Salvation]]===[[Sam]] shoots at the Yellow-Eyed Demon as he stands over the crib of the baby [[Rose Holt]], while John is off trading a fake Colt with [[Meg]]. He misses as the [[demon]] disappears and wastes a bullet. ===[[1.22 Devil's Trap]]===[[Dean]] uses the third remaining bullet to kill the demon [[Tom]], after he and [[Sam]] rescue John. Their father, [[possessed]] by the Yellow-Eyed Demon, begs Sam to shoot him, but he cannot kill his father and uses the fourth bullet to shoot John in the leg, the hesitation to kill the demon and John with him, allowing it to flee.

Later, [[John]] trades the Colt and the remaining bullet (and his [[soul]]) in a [[deal]] with [[Azazel]] for [[Dean]]'s life. ===[[2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two]]===The Yellow-Eyed Demon gives the Colt to [[Jake Talley]] in order to open the [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming]]. After making his way to [[Fossil Butte Cemetery]], Jake succeeds in opening the gate by threatening [[Ellen]]'s life, but after Sam kills him, [[Dean]] retrieves the Colt from the crypt door. The Yellow-Eyed Demon shows up and takes the Colt from Dean, but after John's spirit distracts the demon by ripping him out of his [[meatsuit]], Dean grabs the Colt back and shoots Azazel in the heart with the last bullet just as he returns to his host, finally killing him. [[Bobby]] and Ellen were later able to seal the [[Hell Gates|devil's gate]] before any more demons or spirits could escape.

[[File:Crowley.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Crowley with The Colt.]] ===[[5.10 Abandon All Hope...]]===After using it to kill two of his hench-demons, Crowley gives the Colt and some more bullets to the Winchesters to kill Lucifer who is in Carthage, Missouri. Dean uses it against the [[hellhounds]], and either wounds, or kills one, but is unable to stop them all. Dean shoots Lucifer in the head at point-blank range, telling him to "suck it." Lucifer falls and appears to be dead at first, but he gets up in pain, the bullet wound in his forehead heals, and he punches Dean into a tree, dropping the Colt in the process. Lucifer goes on to explain to Sam that he is one of five things in all of creation that the gun can't kill. It should be noted was later revealed that when Castiel teleported Sam and Dean out of the battlefield, the Colt was left behind and was retrieved by Crowley while Lucifer was releasing [[Death]] from his prison.[[File:DeanShootsLucifer.jpg|left|350px|thumb|[[Dean]] attempts to kill [[Lucifer]] using the Colt.]] ===[[6.18 Frontierland]]===[[Sam]] was able to take [[Dean]] and Bobby to the library in the [[Campbell Compound]] to look through Samuel's lore books and find a way to kill [[Eve]]. Bobby was able to find out that the ashes of a [[phoenix]] can kill Eve and Dean recovers [[Samuel Colt's Journal]] and discovers that in March 5, 1861 the Colt was used to kill a [[phoenix]] in Sunrise, Wyoming. They were able to summon Castiel so they can travel back to 1861, but they only have 24 hours before he brings them back.

Dean uses the Colt to kill [[Elias Finch]] — the phoenix. However, Dean drops the Colt just before he and Sam are transported back to the present day. It is possible that the Colt was retrieved by the saloon owner Elkins. In the present day, the Colt was originally in England the possession of [[Daniel Elkins]] and Franceits possible that the Elkins of 1861 was an ancestor who passed it down to him. It was stated in Colt's Journal that he knew the saloon keeper personally. Since there were two bullets left in the chamber at most after it was used to kill two demons and a phoenix, securing and the fact that Daniel Elkins was loading five bullets into the Colt when it was first patent introduced in [[1.20 Dead Man's Blood]], it is implied that while Samuel Colt returned to Sunrise, Wyoming to retrieve the phoenix ashes, he also gave the Colt to the saloon keeper Elkins along with the special bullets with the hopes that it will eventually end up with Sam. ===[[12.12 Stuck in the Middle (With You)]]===In a flashback to 2011 following [[Lucifer]]'s defeat, [[Crowley]] turns the Colt along with the [[Lance of Michael]] over to the [[Prince of Hell]] [[Ramiel]] as a gift to take Hell's Throne, but Ramiel refuses and offers Crowley the throne instead in exchange for maintaining the solitude of his fellow siblings. After their deal, Ramiel stashes the Colt and the Lance into his supernatural armory. In the present, [[Mary Winchester]] is sent by the [[British Men of Letters]] to steal the Colt from Ramiel. While she succeeds with the help of her sons, [[Castiel]] and the [[hunter]] [[Wally]], Wally is killed and Castiel is gravely injured as Ramiel chases them to retrieve the Colt. Ramiel offers the Winchesters their lives if they give him back what they stole, but Sam and Dean have no idea what he's talking about. After a fight, Ramiel is killed by Sam with the Lance of Michael, leaving Sam and Dean unaware of what Mary did. After killing Ramiel, Mary meets with [[Mr. Ketch]] and threatens to kill him and the British Men of Letters in general after what happened to Wally and what almost happened to Castiel, because they unknowingly sent them after a Prince of Hell. After a moment of silence, Mr. Ketch admits that they made a mistake and apologizes. She then hands over the Colt, telling him that [[Samuel Campbell|her father]] used to tell her stories about the gun. Crowley also sent an army of his demons to Ramiel's house to retrieve the gun and panics when they fail to locate the Colt while [[Lucifer]] taunts him about it in his "doghouse."

While the British Men of Letters have no bullets and don't know how to make any, Sam is able to give them [[Bobby Singer]]'s recipe and they create new bullets shortly before the Alpha Vampire enters. Sam bluffs the Alpha Vampire with the empty Colt, with the Alpha Vampire claiming to be one of the five things the gun can't kill. Sam tries to negotiate a deal with the Alpha Vampire before Mary attacks him and [[Mick Davies]] barreled after Sam in a ruse to get him a bullet for the Colt so he can load it. Once Sam reveals this, the Alpha Vampire calls him a "clever, clever boy" moments before Sam shoots him through the head with the Colt. As the Colt's power works on him, the Alpha Vampire chuckles briefly before dropping to the ground, dead. ===[[12.17 The British Invasion]]===While going after the Prince of Hell [[Dagon]], Mick Davies brings the Winchesters the Colt to use against the powerful demon.

Instead, the shot strikes [[Renny Rawlings]] in the heart, killing him. While leaving the scene, Eileen holds onto the Colt rather than returning it to Mick. After Eileen leaves, Sam reveals to Dean that she has left them the Colt.

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 modify it to restore its 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]].
