In 1847, Colt set out to develop a new type of military pistol after completing the contract for the production of a Volcker revolver. The new gun was finalized in 1850 and formally started production in 1851. In order to pay tribute to the Texas cavalry and navy who brought the Colt pistol on the battlefield first, Colt originally named the gun a cavalry and soon changed its name to the “M1851 Naval Type.”
