That said, you still haven't offered me any proof to the contrary, other than the post you put up on the Colt forum listed above. I read the entire thing and none of them answered you definitvely either. Then you come back here and repeat them without mentioning where you got your info. Not very convincing. 
If you are one who needs to have the last word, feel free.
I have stated what I have learned from reading, and from Colt enthusiasts. If that doesn't suit you, that is your problem. I am done wasting forum bandwidth on a subject best left for the appropriate sub-forum.
If you ever do get some factual proof that supports your position, I will be more than happy to read and accept it, if it is fact. |
I've never felt the need to have the last word on anything.
My position was, and remains, that all the historical evidence points to the SAA being a right-handed revolver. All I'm asking, is that someone provide some type of empirical data that shows the SAA design by Colt was for a left hander.
Coincidence does not count. Happenstance does not count.
The fact that I ask a similar question on the Colt forum means only that I've sought out expertise outside my own area. I was taught from a young age to seek the advice of others who had experience and expertise outside my own sphere.
I'll gladly demur when the evidence appears.
