The Peacemaker revolver, also known as the Single Action Army (SAA), was designed by Samuel Colt in 1873 and was manufactured with different barrel lengths: the short version, 4.75 inches, the longer forms, 5.5 and 7.5 inches, or the imposing "Buntline Special", 12 inches.

This weapon was initially used by the US military. However, in a few years most of the American citizens got one of these revolvers. The fact that it used ammunition of the same caliber as the Winchester M1873 rifle helped its popularization as a weapon in the old North American West at the end of the 19th century.

Curiously, this revolver has received numerous nicknames. Apart from the mentioned Peacemaker, he is also known as Frontier or Widowmaker, in reference to the ease with which this revolver left widows to the wives of the time.

The film industry mythologized the "Peacemaker" in the westerns of the 40s and 50s, and teamed up with big screen stars like John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Roosevelt also had one with his initials engraved and George S. Patton used two.
