The only thing I can say with certainty is they are not refering to the beer. Going by the description for the choice printed in the magazine they are celebrating the introduction of the Colt .45 single action revolver; often known as the PeaceMaker. The M1911 semi-automatic pistol is more often refered to as the "Colt auto." That is a good question on the Colt.45. The only thing I can say with certainty is they are not refering to the beer.

The old SA revolver or the 1911? I know that the 1911 isn't really a pure Colt firearm, but most people associate the two. Neither was the first of their kind anyhow as I understand it, they were just the first to use a big beefy round properly. Which .45? The old SA revolver or the 1911?

However Rolled Toilet Paper as we see it today was patented by Seth Wheeler in America in 1871. So America cannot claim the TP but we can claim the perferated roll of TP. And maybe they should have just put "Thomas Edison" as #1 on the list. Since he did hold 1093 patents over the course of his life (including the phonograph) it might seem a valid argument to me.
