When I was in the market for a 44 mag in the eighties, I read a lot of owners manuals.
The S&W pistols had a notation: Magnum loads not recommended.
Ruger had no such language in their owners manual.
I called them up and they said: Honey, shoot anything you want.
I got about 14k full house rounds through my Redhawk. (I am a reloader).
The video is full of crap. Colt didn’t invent the revolver, there are surviving revolver rifles dating back to at least 1600.
They also claim Colt invented the “assembly line.” Which also is bull. Venice Italy’s “arsenal” shipyard built ships by assembly line using standardized and interchangeable parts in the 15th Century.
That was only 12 minutes into the video and I didn’t waste MORE time watching the rest.

In talking about the invention of the Colt revolver, I’m surprised they didn’t mention the development of the percussion cap that made the development of the modern firearm possible.
Rough crowd tonight,
Pewdiepie.
You have lots of anger on a Saturday night. Just chill LOL, It’s a video of Colt, not Nancy Pelousy naked.
Yes, I did. Thanks for bringing that up.
do you think they might have been trying to say they invented the revolver as we know it today, with cartridged bullets?
because there obviously were revolvers of various designs before but were black powder loaded by hand versions
God created men, but Sam Colt made them equal.
The Browning it was built in Belgium in the late Sixties and is nearly old enough to collect Social Security. Sadly it cannot because it still works. In fact I went out hunting with it on Friday. During the period when Bear and Deer season overlap, I prefer my Browning.
Sadly both weapons were lost in a boating accident off the Crystal Coast today.😪🙄

It’s not that glacier that will raise the seas, but accidents like yours.
I have nothing but good things to say about my mid 2000s Springfield Armory XDM 9mm. That thing is special!
Along with a statue of Senator Joe McCarthy.
“God created men,
But Sam Colt made them equal”
Here now, what’s the need to invoke profane imagery like that? People just now getting to this thread on Sunday morning having to read that. At least put a profanity on the FRONT of it next time, OK?

I have a compact model XD in .45. Love it. Rock solid firearm. The XDS are now our go to EDC.

The video includes an admission that Colt didn’t invent the revolver and showed examples of much older revolvers. You just missed that part.
Yes, they claim Colt had the very first mass produced assembly line, except for clocks, which they state were also made in assembly line fashion. They state Colt first used an assembly line in the context of “mass production”. They were producing 150 guns per day. In that context, nobody had done it before, except for clock makers. Comparing that to ship building, which is a very long process, is apples and oranges.
Given how opinionated (& ornery ;>) gun owners tend to be, I imagine most folks have different 'chosen' firearms. For me, they are often the ones I've built myself...
