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.

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!

You've had a good couple of weeks !

The 3:10 train is to Yuma, iirc.

That is lovely!

Ding ding ding!

All aboard!

My other conversion guns in their rig.

3:10 to Yuma featured a conversion gun carried by Dan.

Beautiful!

It is a handsome gun, Mars.

That is pretty! One of the guns I will get someday is a Colt SAA. Just because.

He did! You gonna get a Registered Magnum and a rig to wear them too?

Damn, that's purty.

I have 2 Colt SAAs. But man I sure have the itch lately for a nickel plated one.

That is an awesome revolver you have, congrats

Mine, 2nd Generation .45 Colt

That is a beautiful piece of machinery.

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 .....

Did I mention GunSmoke!

..... not to get leather for the SAA.

The 7 1/2" barrel length is my preference!

That rocks!
