How to use "Six-shooter" in context?
When the Colt Single Action Army started shipping in 1873, the handgun market was already crowded. Competitors included the Schofield, Bennet, and Colt Revolvers. The Single Action Army's big advantage was its six-round magazine. Other models required reloading every three or four shots.
The SAA quickly became the gun of choice for Western lawmen, since it could handle the rigors of horseback riding and gunfights on the open range. Over time, other handgun models have emerged, but the six-shooter is still popular.
