A couple of years ago my wife got a yen for a purty SAA. After some calling around she got a 5 1/2" nickel SA in .45 Colt. I had to do just a bit of fitting with the hard rubber stocks, but upon inspection I was very impressed with the overall quality of the gun. She had a presentation case made, and since it was bought to be a safe queen it's unfired and likely to remain so.

It's a ringer for my 1881 Colt which, like me, is now retired. Its successor is a stainless NM Vaquero, which I'm quite pleased with. The USFA is one beautiful gun, but the Vaquero at half the price is a lot of gun for the money.

If USFA bites the dust it'll be a shame, though.
