The following text is from Wikipedia about the Colt Walker & it\'s history, Worth reading if you have the time....

In 1847, the United States and Mexico were at war. Former Texas Ranger, now Captain, Samuel Walker, United States Mounted Rifles,went to New York on business looked up Colt with the intention of acquiring revolvers particularly suited to his horse soldiers. He wanted a revolver capable of dispatching not only the enemy soldiers but their horses as well. Personal experience with the earlier Paterson revolvers of 36 caliber had convinced him of the utility of the revolving pistol as a cavalry arm. He now envisioned a \"… revolver half the length of your arm of 44 or 45 caliber….\" with more robust features than those of the erstwhile lightweight five-shooters (Whittington 1984). Colt was still in possession of the patents that gave him exclusive rights to revolver development as well as high motivation to return to the arms trade. Eli Whitney, Junior had a nose for business and a well-appointed armory then engaged in producing the 1841 Rifle in use in the Mexican conflict. An army contract for 1,000 pistols with accoutrements followed in January 1847. Colt ordered an additional 100 pistols for promotional use and private sale (Wilson 1984). The revolvers were 44 caliber, almost sixteen inches in length and weighed four pounds, nine ounces. The revolvers were larger than the 1837 and 1842 smooth bore pistols they replaced, but exactly in accord with Colonel Walker\'s order. In late October, Colonel John Coffee Hays of the First Texas Mounted Volunteers picked up 394* [Whittington 1984) from Army headquarters in Vera Cruz. An additional 180 went to Colonel Walker\'s C Company, United States Mounted Rifles. Colt had given priority to the one hundred additional pistols for presentation and private sales. Thus, well in advance of this general issue, Jack Hays, Samuel Walker, Zachary Taylor and other officers were in possession of the revolvers and familiar with their capabilities (Whittington 1984). Initial planning called for issue of two pistols to mounted soldiers along with a single powder flask, bullet mould, and combination tool that comprised a screwdriver, cone wrench, and spring compressor. Two pistols, mounted on either side of the saddle pommel, were standard Dragoon equipages. Reasoning that a single revolver would triple the firepower of two Aston-Johnsons, the army changed the order, affording only one pistol per trooper and creating a shortage of accoutrements. Thus, five hundred revolvers awaited arrival of powder flasks, combination tools, and bullet moulds. These remained in the Baton Rouge arsenal until early spring 1848, when they were released to the western army and still-federalized Texas Rangers fighting desperados and Indians on the Texas Frontier. Accompanying the second issue of 500 into Texas were an unknown number of revolvers that had not been returned to the Army at the end of the Mexican Conflict. There was a strong tendency among the enlisted to retain any working revolver and report it missing or destroyed. Historians record that it was, in fact, virtually impossible to get a Texas Ranger to turn in his Walker revolver and it was a losing battle to insist upon it (Whittington 1984).
