Colt's Manufacturing Company

Colt's Manufacturing Company was a firearms company in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries on Earth. In the 19th century, this company was the most often associated with images of cowboys and lawmen. In the 20th century, this company produced many of this era's most famous military weapons, including the Model 1911 pistol, the M16 assault rifle, the M203 grenade launcher, and the M4 carbine. The company was founded in 1847.

Hikaru Sulu was a collector of these historic weapons. He used them as decoration in his quarters. In 2290, when energy weapons refused to work in proximity to the Qul Tuq magnetar, he issued these pistols as side arms. When asked who was to thank for the rescue of Kang, Koloth, and Kor, Hikaru Sulu gave credit to Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, and Mr. Colt.
