The Legacy of the Bird’s Head Grip
The bird’s head style grip first appeared on Colt derringers and smaller pistols of the early 1870s. By 1875, Colt incorporated the design into full-sized revolvers, quickly gaining popularity among lawmen, gunfighters, and frontiersmen for its compact, ergonomic shape. One of the most legendary Old West figures, “Billy the Kid,” preferred this grip style, carrying a bird’s head Colt throughout his exploits. Uberti faithfully recreates this historical design, giving modern shooters a chance to own a piece of American frontier history.
