That honour went to European-manufactered arms. George Custer carried a matched pair of double-action Webley ‘Royal Irish Constabulary’ model .44’s at Little Big Horn. Various other Webley double-action army & police models were marketed in the US. Lefaucheux & Manufrance double-action revolvers were available, but they were chambered in small calibres and only really useful as a ‘belly gun’.
I think – I could be wrong on this one – Hopkins & Allen’s double action design predated Colts. However the H&A was hamstrung by terrible build quality. Their double-action design was bought and incorporated into the splendid Merwin Hulbert revolvers, but that was after 1877.

True. And people on the left will always argue about guns for protection. They had rather trust the criminal than good citizens. And can never figure out criminals don’t honor any laws, or regard for others.
