Maybe you could give a bit more specific information. I don't know a company called Standard Mfg. I do own a couple of SAA clones, if you're referrring to the old Colt Single Action Army model.
I think there is a Hickok45 video on
the SAA....(Youtube).

High Standard
I have looked at two. My favorite Local Gun Shop gets them in
once in awhile.
Very High Quality. Craftsmanship is Excellent. Colt only wishes
they could Manufacture something like this.
From what I have read in several articles the Cylinders Charge
Holes are the correct diameter, also the Barrels are Correct and
Forcing Cone is cut at 11 degress.
They are not Cheap. They are made in America. On top of it all,
you have Standard Manufacturing Company LLC Customer
Service, if need be.
If someone says "yea but they're not a Colt" just say "DAM right
they're not! and they're made in America!" That shuts them up
quick.

I purchased one in .45 Colt with a 4 3/4" barrel, and fancy one piece walnut stocks in February. Excellent workmanship, beautiful blue and case coloring. Cost was around $2,085.00.

Gorgeous, that down right sounds like a bargain bgrafsr for what you have to pay for a crappy built Colt SAA today, and I'm a big Colt fanboy!I purchased one in .45 Colt with a 4 3/4" barrel, and fancy one piece walnut stocks in February. Excellent workmanship, beautiful blue and case coloring. Cost was around $2,085.00.
I'd take a Uberti over a 3rd gen Colt SAA any day.

That makes one of us.
2006 .38-40 "blackpowder" (yes, I know that's not really what it is) frame.

U.S Patent Arms took a crack at it. They first had Uberti make the parts and assembled them in their Ct. factory. I have one of those in .45 Colt. Gorgeous Trumbull case color frame and rich bluing on the upper . It is superb. Later they made, machined and assembled all parts in house. These were know to be even better. Eventually they folded around 2013. Why. The cost was comparable to a late 2nd gen "real Colt" and most folks wanted the "real thing" instead of a better thing. Whether or not the same happens to Standard (and I truly hope it doesn't), it's anyone's guess. The only downside I see is that if they go under, so does the warrantee. Resale value is also in question. The upside is everything else. What would Bowen charge for the same?
Have to agree somewhat, but I recently bought a Colt SAA made in 1979 and it's quality is very good.
I've looked at Uberti's and would like one in .32-20 that does not have the goofy safety on the hammer or cylinder pin.
Suggestions?

I would order one but only if I could see the exact gun I was paying $2000 for first.

I understand that after considerable requests, Standard Manufacturing will now make one for you in .44 Special. They are definitely a boutique maker, hopefully they will be able to offer a few more options in the future.

Let me qualify that, not without feeling the action first.
I'd order a Standard Mfg. without feeling the action first.
Here's the last two Ubertis I bought, both .45Colt.
I drove 3hrs both ways just to feel the action on the case hardened Cattlemen because Bass Pro had a couple to choose from.

While I like 45lc, I was actually thinking of their 38 special version.
It's another $100 or so, but I'm fine with that.
Unfortunately, I'm like Dieseltech. I like to have my eyes and paws on expensive guns upfront.
New Britain, Ct is drivable for me, so if they have one available, I might have that option.

WOW. Did you have to hand-over your cash or card first? Fill out your 4473 first? They are not inclined to remove those trigger locks until you purchase (at my BP).
I'm looking at a Taylor & Company SAA in .32-20 WCF. Undecided on whether to get a 4 3/4" or a 7 1/2" model. I am leaning towards the 7 1/2" myself.
