There is no forum for Colt Lightnings, so I figured the people that appreciate old guns would find this interesting. I got the 40-60-260 last May in Denver and shot my antelope with it. This past weekend I got the 50-95 Express at a gun show.
They never made very many of these large frame Lightnings, less than 6500 to be exact. I like medium and large frame Lightnings so I had to add this to the pile. It is a rare gun just that it is a large frame, but the fact that it is a 50 makes it even more rare. It also has a special order barrel and was the only one in a shipment to Bombay in 1891.
The back rifle is the 40-60, the front is the 50-95. I included a picture of the cartridges as well for comparison. The stars really aligned themselves for this gun...
