Description

This is an action for damages for personal injuries sustained by respondent, hereafter referred to as plaintiff, when a revolver
purchased by him from defendant, Goodman's, Inc., a retailer, and manufactured by defendant-appellant, Colt Industries, Inc.,
hereinafter referred to as defendant, discharged when it fell out of plaintiff's pocket onto a concrete platform. The gun
was Colt's Single Action Army Revolver. The cause was pleaded and submitted on the theory of strict liability. The amended
petition alleged that the trigger and sear of the gun "was fragile, weak and therefore, unable to withstand reasonably forseeable
or anticipated jolts". There was a jury verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $15,000.00 against defendant, Colt Industries,
Inc. and in favor of defendant, Goodman's, Inc. We affirm that judgment. Plaintiff, a gun enthusiast, purchased the gun on October 31, 1969, because he liked the looks and because he wanted an authentic
six-gun. He was twenty-nine years of age at the time. His father had been a police officer and plaintiff had been raised around
guns. He had experience with guns in hunting and target shooting.
