*On May 23, 2021, Texas governor Greg Abbott signed a resolution naming the 1847 Colt Walker pistol as the official handgun in the State of Texas.<ref name = "Texas Handgun>[https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SCR20/2021 The bill that recognizes the Colt Walker as Texas's official handgun]</ref>
*The black powder Colt Walker was regarded as the most powerful commercially manufactured repeating handgun in the world from 1847 until the introduction of the .357 Magnum in 1935, having a muzzle energy nearly exactly the same as a 4-inch-barreled (10 cm) handgun firing a .357 Magnum.
**Taking into account its muzzle velocity and energy produced, it currently still holds the record for the most powerful handgun ever issued by the US military.
*So far, this is the oldest gun that is mentioned in Girls' Frontline, as the gun was produced in 1847.
