	The '''Colt Paterson 1836''' was the first handgun to incorporate Samuel Colt's patented revolver mechanism, and thus the first weapon that could be called a "revolver" in the modern sense. While hand-advanced flintlock revolvers date back hundreds of years earlier and Colt is believed to have been inspired by the flintlock revolver designs of Elisha Collier, Colt's was the first to connect the actions of advancing and locking the cylinder to cocking the hammer, and also incorporated percussion cap ignition, the most advanced method of the day.
