Colt's first successful swing-out cylinder double-action revolver, adopted by the US Navy and later the Army. The swing-out cylinder with simultaneous ejection was a major advance over the single-action SAA. The .38 Long Colt cartridge, however, proved inadequate in the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) against Moro warriors, directly leading to the adoption of the .45 caliber M1909 and eventually the 1911 pistol.
