LOL! No, TR carried one. I don't think this is it. He also carried a Winchester. The preferred firearm for iconic figures like Theodore Roosevelt and General Patton, the Colt .45 enjoys a celebrated spot in America's long love affair with guns. Often imitated by other manufacturers, this single-action revolver is the trusted quick draw pistol for literally hundreds of characters in Westerns, including Will Kane (Gary Cooper) in High Noon. The .45-caliber Colt Single Action Army (SAA) was originally designed by Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1873 for the U.S. cavalry. It is still manufactured today, although neither marketed nor sold under the gun's ironic alias: The Peacemaker. In 1914, the U.S. government created the Division of Civilian Marksmanship, whose purpose was to distribute surplus military weapons to its law-abiding citizens. During this time, the Colt .45 was the chosen firearm. Google Image Result for dailycognition.com (28 May 2009)
