Location: Upper Left USA | Yes, I used Al Gore;s internet to confirm my suspicions:
"What was remarkable about the Colt pistol when it came out was the, the amount of firepower it could put out, the fact that it was a workable repeater. I think people were also taken with the way in which this product of industrialization was itself like a small factory. It was a bullet firing machine as opposed to a single shot weapon. In that sense it was a kind of model product of technology the way that the computer is today."
It was the first practicle revolver. |

I believe his old Factory is still there, but is now an office building . . . |
