The M1892's counter-clockwise cylinder rotation tended to force the cylinder out of alignment with the frame over time, and this was exacerbated by relatively weak lockwork used to "time", or match individual chambers to the barrel. [4] In 1908, Colt improved and strengthened the lockwork, and changed the cylinder rotation to a clockwise movement.

These sources claim that the first widely used DA revolver (sometimes called the first "modern" revolver) was the Colt M1889.38 Government (.38 Long Colt) used by the Navy, and/or the improved version for the Navy and Army, the Colt M1892, because, despite wide adoption, the 1889 model was produced in relatively low numbers.
