Everyone knows a little bit about the so-called 'Suicide Special' - but that appelation covers spur-trigger revolvers made by the bigger outfits as well.
Including Colt.
They produced a small-framed pocket revolver called the 'Open Top' - starting in 1871 and their production ran until 1877, producing 114,201 revolvers and arming all manner of folks.
They featured blued barrels and nickel-plated frames, for the most part, though some were a fully- plated and they're both attractive and a nice piece to add to your Old West collection.

Should you possess one, and also possess a burning need to shoot it - then buy youself some .22 CB Caps.
Modern .22 Short pressures 'can' destroy them, so exercise some Common Sense.
