Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Model P, Peacemaker, M1873, Single Action Army, SAA) is a single-action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six metallic cartridges. It was designed for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1873 by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, today Colt’s Manufacturing Company, and adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. It is perhaps the most copied, fraudulently modified to replicate an original Colt SAA, than any other revolver made. The National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in 1871 and officially chartered in New York, established by Union Army veterans William Conant Church and George Wood Wingate. Concerned by the poor marksmanship displayed by soldiers during the Civil War, the organization’s original mission was to promote firearms training and improve marksmanship among civilians and military personnel alike. Retired Union General Ambrose Burnside, a prominent Civil War figure, was elected as the NRA’s first president that same year.

For much of its early history, the NRA focused on shooting sports and firearms education, rather than political advocacy. In fact, the organization supported several restrictive gun control measures, including the Gun Control Act of 1968. It wasn't until the political realignment of the 1970s—particularly following the landmark 1977 "Cincinnati Revolt"—that the NRA began its transformation into a staunch defender of Second Amendment rights and a major conservative political force.
