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'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. [[Bobby ]] had taken apart the Colt in an attempt to discover how it can kill anything supernatural, but was unable to figure out what makes it tick. After he started test firing it in the woods, [[Ruby]] later helps Bobby restore the Colt's supernatural killing abilities and modified it so it will take any ammunition. The Winchesters use it to kill a number of demons and vampires until it is stolen by [[Bela Talbot]]<ref>[[3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me]]</ref>. She later trades it to [[Crowley]] to try and get out of her crossroads deal.

[[Castiel ]] returned to the Bunker to talk to Sam and Dean about his temporary partnership with the angels, but it turns out to be a ruse to steal the Colt which was under Dean's pillow rather than in their safe for safe-keeping. After [[Joshua]] had tracked down Dagon through a celestial pulse caused by the [[Nephilim]], Castiel and [[Kelvin]] went to her safe house along with Hozai and the Colt to kill both her and [[Kelly Kline]] with the remaining two bullets. He used one of the bullets to attempt to kill Dagon, but she teleported out of the way. Castiel went downstairs with every intent to kill kellyKelly, 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 their 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 arrived, they discovered that Dagon had caught up with them after killing Hozai, Kelvin, and Joshua when he appeared. When Sam and Dean arrived and tried to stop Dagon from taking Kelly again, she attacked Dean and took the Colt from him. She Dagon used her powers power to heat up and melt down the barrel of the Colt, destroying it along with causing the remaining bullet in muzzle to fall off and severely damaging the chamber right before she died of spontaneous combustion due gun. Castiel is later able to kill Dagon without the Colt using the powers of Castiel and the Nephilim; [[JackKline]].

Sam retrieves the pieces of the damaged Colt, and tells Dean he will try his best takes them back to the Bunker where it is shown that the heat has deformed parts of the gun's mechanisms. Sam promises to attempt to repair itthe legendary gun, but he is unsure if he can. <ref>[[12.20 Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes]]</ref>

|text= Invented by Samuel Colt, a gun named after its inventor “Colt”, and after its revolving cylinder. Before the Colt revolver, only one and two-barrel flintlock pistols had been invented for hand -held use. Colt revolvers were all based on cap-and-ball technology until the Smith and Wesson license on the bored-through cylinder (bought from Rollin White) expired around 1869.

'''Make and Model of The Colt''': The Colt has the appearance of an [http://www.pietta.it/en/prodotto/1836-paterson/ 1836 Colt Paterson Pietta Paterson Super Deluxe]. 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 it's 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.

'''Bullets''': The 13 bullets made by Samuel Colt are engraved with numbers. 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. They are mixed to make a tincture and use it used to coat silver bullets and recite the following spell must be recited to mimic the original etchings:''"Signum est imitandum. Signum est imitandum."''

* [[3.04 Sin City]]: [[Ruby]] helps [[Bobby]] rebuild the Colt so and create new bullets for it will use any ammunition. [[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's is for every demon Sam and Dean use the Colt on.

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 as since the Colt can supposedly kill anythingsupernatural, 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.

the 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 pulling ripping him from 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.

[[crossroads demon|The Crossroads Demon]] outside of [[Lloyd's Bar]] recognizes that the Colt has been modified, stating that it was not "the original Colt." She realizes that [[Ruby]] was the one who modified it. Sam eventually uses the Colt to kill a the crossroads demon to try to get Dean out of his contract. ===[[crossroads demon3.06 Red Sky at Morning]]===Dean discovers that Sam tried to get him out of his contract after he notices that a bullet is missing from the Colt. After confronting Sam, he tells Dean that he's not going to apologize for saving his life.

[[Becky]] tells Sam that in the''[[The Supernatural Books|Supernatural]]'' book written by [[Chuck Shurley]] which tells the events of [[3.15 Time Is on My Side]], Bela gave the Colt not to Lilith but to [[Crowley]]; her right hand demon, and possibly possible lover, . [[File:Crowley.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Crowley with The Colt.]].

After using it to kill two of his hench-demons, Crowley gives the Colt and some more bullets to the Winchesters to kill Luciferwho 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 when Castiel rescues himin 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 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.]]

[[Sam]] was able to take [[Dean]] and Bobby to the library in the [[DeanCampbell 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 learn discovers that in March 5, 1861 the Colt was used to kill a [[phoenix]]in Sunrise, Wyoming. They need the phoenix's ashes were able to fight [[Eve]], summon Castiel so they can travel back to 1861, but they only have 24 hours before he brings them back. [[Samuel Colt]] is retired from hunting, and completing the railway [[devil's trap]] to protect the [[Devil's Gate]]. Two [[demon|demons]]s enter his homelooking for the gun, and he shoots them with the Colt. When Sam arrives and asks for his assistance, he refuses, but eventually gives Sam the Colt. 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 the possession of [[Daniel Elkins]] and its 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, and the fact that Daniel Elkins was loading five bullets into the Colt when it was first 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.

In a flashback to after 2011 following [[Lucifer]]'s defeat, [[Crowley]] turns the Colt along with the [[Lance of Michael]] over to the [[Prince of Hell]] [[Ramiel]] as a giftto 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.

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 about not knowing where when they fail to locate the Colt is while [[Lucifer]] taunts him about itin his "doghouse." [[File:Colt Destroyed.png|thumb|right|350px|The Colt is damaged by [[Dagon]].]]

[[Castiel]] returns to the Bunker from [[Heaven]]. He steals the Colt, from under Dean's pillow where Dean has kept it rather than locking it in the safe. Castiel along with some other [[angels]] find Dagon and [[Kelly Kline]], entering the home Castiel misses when he tries to kill Dagon, and then is unable to kill Kelly when faced with the task. After his truck breaks down, Sam and Dean find Castiel and Kelly, and Dean takes possession of the Colt. When Kelly and Castiel take off and try to return to Heaven, Dagon appears, waiting for them. The Winchesters arrive and Dean tries to kill her with the Colt, but Dagon takes the weapon from him, and uses her power to melt the gun's barrel, deforming it and destroy itcausing the Colt's muzzle to fall off. Castiel is later able to use the [[Nephilim]]'s powers to kill Dagon without the Colt through spontaneous combustion.

In the aftermath of Castiel disappearing with Kelly Kline, Dean asks Sam if he is able to fix the damaged Colt, which is now in two pieces, who is hopeful, but uncertain. ===[[15.05 Proverbs 17:3]]===Sam has a nightmare where he is possessed by [[Lucifer]], Dean tries to kill the [[archangel]] with the Colt, shooting him through the head from behind. However, Lucifer heals the wound and burns Dean to death. Sam later speculates that the nightmare was one of God's possible endings for them that he is seeing through a link created between Sam and God when Sam shot God with [[the Equalizer]].<br clear="all" /> ===[[15.09 The Trap]]===God reveals that the nightmares Sam has been seeing were of alternate reality Sams and Deans, meaning that the Colt Sam had seen was also from an alternate reality. ===[[15.12 Galaxy Brain]]===Part of Chuck's video presentation to the Radio Shed clerk on Earth 2 is alternate Dean's failed attempt to kill alternate [[Lucifer]] with 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 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]]. ==Trivia==* [http://collider.com/the-boys-eric-kripke-interview/ In a 2019 interview with Collider], Eric Kripke revealed that the Colt's creation in the show was a reference to the Saint of Killer's guns that can kill anything from the ''Preacher'' comic book.
