In 1895, Holland & Holland the famed
London gunmaker, advertised the New Colt Bisley Revolver.
The town of Bisley, England was the site of major
British shooting matches. In 1894 Colt made an effort
to market this new revolver which was an outgrowth
of the modifications urged by popular demand on the
Single Action. Longer grip straps, heavier frame,
a lower and wider hammer spur and full width trigger
all were incorporated into this new design in 1894.
Today, the Bisley is often copied but never duplicated.
The last one, Serial Number 330,184 left the factory
Nov. 18th, 1919.
