Step 1 : Introduction to the question " The Colt Single Action Army revolver is better known by what moniker? "
...
The Colt Single Action Army revolver, aka The Peacemaker, is one of the most recognizable firearms in history due to its association with the American Old West and is often seen as a symbol of the era.
It was first developed in the early 1870s by William Mason and Charles Richards, who sought to improve the revolver by replacing an earlier paper cartridge with one that would use a newer metal cartridge, making a firearm that would be quicker to reload and more resistant to water.
The new gun quickly proved popular with both soldiers and civilians, being used most notably on the American western frontier, where it was frequently seen in battles with native tribes and in gunfights between outlaws and lawmen. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one such instance of the gun's usage.
While it is not definitively known how the firearm gained the nickname "Peacemaker," the first recorded use of the moniker was in an 1877 advertisement by B. Kittredge & Company.
The Colt Peacemaker would continue to be used by the U.S. military until 1892. However, due to its notoriety and historical relevance, it remains a popular firearm to this day.
