Ronald brought Chen Zhou two old-model Colt single-action revolvers.
Each gun holds six rounds in total, with a short barrel—just 5 centimeters long.
At this time, US gunslingers were well-versed in the theory "the shorter the barrel, the faster the draw," so they favored short-barreled guns. Colt Company, in order to cater to shooters' tastes, even removed the ejector rod to reduce the barrel length.
Of course, that was a long time ago. Ever since 1940, Colt revolvers have drastically reduced production, and most Colts circulating on the market now are antiques.
The oldest models have wooden grips, and the newer ones use black rubber grips.
Both guns in Chen Zhou's hands are unmistakably wooden-handled, and their bodies show obvious signs of use.
Although the gun shop had refurbished them to a degree, the weathered look still couldn't be concealed—compared to the contemporary M1911, this old thing really offers no advantages.
