Colt 1851 (Cartridge Conversion)
Only distinguishing trait is a loading gate so that the weapon can fire metallic cartridges. In films, these guns are commonly placed in anachronistic time periods such as the Civil War, due to the safer method of firing cartridge blanks instead of cap and ball blank shot.

When cartridges became popular in the 1870s, percussion revolvers became dated. To fix this, a cartridge conversion method was created by Charles B. Richards and William Mason, employees of Colt at the time. The conversion proved popular and allowed gunslingers to keep their favorite guns, but now easier and faster to reload.
