There's just something about a six gun. My other single actions are Ubertis and are extremely well made, but I wanted a real Colt. I want what they used yesteryear in the late 19th century, early 20th century. Even General Patton had one. I made a swap and picked up this 1985 third gen. I'd love to have a nitro grade first, but this will just have to do. Soon as I get some faux ivory, it will be close to the General's. However, I ain't going to have it engraved. A Colt with my 1910 Ball official railroad. Guess where I'm headed.  ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | ||

That is a real beauty. I am like you, I own a Uberti Cattleman, and a Cimmaron SA. They are well made, and good shooters, but just aren't Colt SAA. Enjoy your new Colt. | |||

Congrats! I have a 2019 in 45 Colt 5.5” that I haven’t shot yet. Like you said, just a something about these old peacemakers!  | |||

COLT SAA's are from an era gone by... Or at least TV gone by ... I was fortunate enough to acquire a few Colt SAA's over the years. Thinking about getting some leather for one of the new ones P1870 for when I go to the range. One of the leather makers in Texas has a 15% discount until the 31st. Deciding on lined or unlined holster. I believe unlined is probably period correct, along with either the Slim Jim or the Mexican loop. I hate to waste money - could easily just use the carry case - but I have watched too many ..... Gunsmoke The Lone Ranger Have Gun will Travel Cicso Kid Bonanza Roy Rogers Show The Wild Wild West The Big Valley Wagon Train Rifleman Rawhide Rin Tin Tin Did I mention GunSmoke! ..... not to get leather for the SAA. The 7 1/2" barrel length is my preference! | |||
