Default Colt Single Action Army .32-20



With 1873 Winchester in .32-20:















This Colt SAA is accurate and on target with the fixed sight arrangement.

Wish handguns today were already sighted in at the factory with permanent sights without adjustable sights.

Those days are long gone. Long gone for good. The SAA from Colt is always on target.

Default Another Colt Single Action



It shoots .44-40 WCF and is obviously on target at 50 feet.

They call it the Colt Frontier Six Shooter. It's only in .44-40 and nuttin else. It is a Black Powder Frame and Bull's Eye ejector rod. A screw is the cylinder rod's stabilization from the front of the gun without the side release latch for the rod.

No SAA Colt style handgun was off target. They are all works of Swiss Watch mechanism from 1873 before Swiss watches were made.

Yes I have pride in the first Army Revolver issued before the 1911 Auto. I have little pride in the M9 Beretta as an army vet. I'll go with the 1911 auto if I HAVE to have an auto otherwise give me a Colt Single Action Army six shooter in any caliber but .22 or .357.

You have some very nice guns, but your history is a little weak. The Swiss have making portable timepieces (read watches) since the middle of the 16th Century so considerably before 1873. Colt's 1860 Army Model was used by both sides in the American Civil War. The New Army Revolver was issued to US troops starting in 1892, considerably before the 1911.
