Instruments of "moral reform,'' Colt once sardonically called his artful, deadly devices. How they were used, and by whom, did not trouble him much.

That sentence alone cries out for a "MEGA BARF ALERT"! LOL.

I caught that little sneer too.

Sorry 'bout that...there's little regard in Connecticut for the GREAT legacy of gun manufacturing in this state, let alone how influential Colt was to Hartford and the world. PFFT!

I just thought Civil War buffs would be interested in this find...like so many things *Colt* the uniform will probably get stolen and go missing for a few more generations.

[Nutmegers also hate the Courant ..it's the only game in town since the demise of the *Hartford Times* which occasionally offered a different view point.]

This seems like a straight forward historical interest story about Sam Colt.

Not sure what you’re all hepped up about here.
