Summary
The Colt M1877 is a semi automatic revolver. An honestly insane weapon for the price, you can't really go wrong with it. With 55 damage packed into it and a quick fire rate, there's not much you can go wrong with having this honey in your secondary slot.
Information
The Colt M1877 is an interesting unlock. At first it might seem like a carbon copy of the Revolver, but what really makes this gun unique is that it's a secondary, which gives it an interesting playstyle. The Colt is perfect for playing a defensive role, and pairs excellently with support oriented, easily overwhelmed weapons such as the Chinalake, Sniper, M1 Garand and Flamethrower, among other weapons and playstyles.
Do know that it's not your cheat-code to suddenly becoming a hybrid between offense and defense. It might help you in the nick of time to get people close to you, but it's range is utterly PITIFULLY hilarious and with only 6 in it's chamber, you gotta realize you can only handle so much and cower behind your friendly team. You have to be skilled to use this fully offensively.
It's definitely not recommended to use for an offensive play style though. I mean, your AK, FAMAS, whatever is great and all but you already have a lot of firepower, why not just equip a melee instead to get consistent help against close ranged enemies?
Additionally, it pairs excellently when combined with the Revolver, as in practical terms they're basically the same weapon in a different slot. Using the Revolver and this turns you into a dualie-wielding killing machine, with both weapons dealing 40 and 55 damage respectively, adding up MASSIVE damage. Do know that there's a bottleneck with this combo though, as the reload time becomes PITIFUL. Make your shots count!
Another great pair is other secondaries. With the MP5 in hand, it becomes an insane combo as both weapons deal a ton of damage together. You WILL run out of ammo extremely fast with this pair though, so be accurate and smart. Don't assume you can get into any fight and win, as these are still very hard to use weapons which drain their ammunition fast.
Melees can also be a good option, as the Colt deals great damage and items such as the Katana or Crowbar can make up for a lost clip by finishing off the rest of the targets with consistent damage. You can weaken them then carve a hole in their bodies with them!
