Colt Lightning

:For the pump-action rifle, see Colt Lightning Carbine
Also known as the Model 1877 or Model 1877 Lightning, the Colt Lightning was Colt's first double action revolver, produced from 1877 to 1909 almost exclusively in .38 Short Colt (and, later on, in .38 Long Colt). The Colt Thunderer was a slightly larger version chambered for .41 Colt, and later .41 Long Colt; the Colt Rainmaker was a variant chambered in .32 Long Colt (with a few rare examples apparently chambered in .32 S&W).
