Pasote:
Colt Custom Shop is not closed. They are open, but at this time just working on the 1911 platform guns. They have stopped doing any SAA's for as yet to be determined amount of time.
The Colt SAA is still in production, but, at the rate of 30-80 guns per month.
Personally, I think that Colt would like to see the SAA just go away.
My 1979 production .357 sat NIB (along with an identical one and another in .45 Colt) in my brother's safe until I traded him out of it a couple of years ago. Have been meaning to shoot the hogleg, but just haven't got around to it yet.

Nice. A local shop has a first year 2nd Gen in .38 spl. that looks much like yours. I've handled it a few times, but just can't come up with the $2k they want.
I did go shoot a few cylinders out of the Heston NRA today. Its official on longer unfired.
Good job then! Maybe I'll get off my butt and shoot mine. Am itching to shoot this Ruger NV too - 6 months old & still a virgin....
Those Grashorns are beauliful - I have thought about having Patrick make some for the new Vaquero to replace the Altamont "bonded ivory" (epoxy). How long did it take?

He had mine done in a few days after receiving my frame. It being a Colt, they had to be fitted.
You may be able to get some for the Ruger without fitting. I think their frames are all the same size. If so, you can probably just email him with what you want.
