I know that Paterson worked with Sam Colt for a while, and the revolvers, 
including the revolving rifle, and shotgun and a handgun are refered to 
as Colt Paterson. I don't know the details of the relationship between 
Colt and Paterson. 

Also check out the SASS website, an orginization that does wild west 
shooting compititions. It has good links.
