{"product_id":"9781472810984","title":"Colt Single-Action Revolvers by Alan Gilliland","description":"In 1836, Samuel Colt changed the face of warfare with the production of the first of a series of iconic and influential single-action revolvers, including the .44-calibre Colt Walker and the seminal .45-calibre Colt Single Action Army, which remains in production today.  These weapons shifted the role of the pistol from single-shot weapon of last resort to a practical and powerful sidearm that gave the user the ability to defend himself once his primary armament was discharged.  It transformed cavalry tactics and relegated the sword to a largely ceremonial role in many armies.   Featuring full-colour artwork, expert analysis and gripping first-hand accounts, this is the absorbing story of Colt's family of single-action revolvers, covering their origins, development, use and lasting impact on the modern world.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312437997941,"sku":"9781472810984","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472810984.jpg?v=1762821867","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781472810984","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
