All had {{convert|26|in|cm|abbr=on}} round .44-40 barrels and bore S.F.P 1 through S.F.P 401 stampings on the lower tang.[4] The small-frame Lightning (also referred to as "Second Model Colt Lightning"[4]) was the first rimfire rifle made by Colt and was manufactured between 1887 and 1904 as a plinking and gallery gun.[4][5] Colt records indicate 89,912 were made, in .22 Short and .22 Long.[4] Barrel length was {{convert|24|in|cm|abbr=on}} and the rifles had a blued finish, case-hardened hammer, and a walnut stock.[4] The large-frame Lightning (also called the "Express Model"[4]) was manufactured between 1887 and 1894.[4] Colt records indicate 6,496 were made in different big game calibers such as .38-56-255[6] and .50-95 Express.[4] Barrel length was {{convert|22|or|28|in|cm|abbr=on}}.[4] Modern versionsReproduction Lightning rifles are still manufactured today by companies such as Uberti, Taurus, and Pedersoli for hunting, historical reenactment, and competition purposes such as Cowboy Action Shooting in calibers such as .38 Special/.357 Magnum, .44-40, and .45 Colt.[4] Of these calibers, only the .44-40 was offered in the Lightning when it was originally produced by Colt.
