Thanks for the info, I would probably have missed this. I've made myself a note.

It is likely they will show the only gun they will make this year...

I've only ever seen one gun of this brand in a gunshop- I will agree it was beautiful. I wanted an Omni-potent six shooter, but they've never made anything other than prototypes even though cataloging it since 2004.

I do find it strange that these guns aren't on shelves of well-known gunshops around the nation.

I think they get snapped up as special orders through dealers. Seems like theyhave quite a following in the cowboy shooting crowd. My wife decided she needed a nickel plated SAA about a year ago and we were able to get it from a jobber at a decent price.

Beautiful gun.

Rest assured, there are many more than one gun made each year. The ones that go out the door are keepers. I did find a used one; the orriginal owner died. Mine will be for sale perhaps when I am dead.

My USFA is a 5 1/2" .45 Colt and has become my most carried piece. It is only replaced when I go to the big city and then with a 1911.

I would like to see this. They are quality firearms.

Since they went into production, making their own Single Actions under the old Colt Factory Blue Dome....They are among the finest firearms ever made in this Country.

Frankly, they make the argument that "You can't make handcrafted handguns, and stay in a competitive business" a stupid statement. They are actually making better guns then have ever been available to the average Joe....

S&W should take note...

I have a USFA "pre-war" single action, .45 Colt, 5 1/2" barrel. It beats the original Colt in workmanship, case hardening, the works. The action is smooth and precise. It's almost too pretty to shoot. I bought it because it was made "under the dome" in the same Hartford facility the original Colts were made, and it would be a duplicate of the gun my maternal grandfather most probably carried in the waning days of the old West, by my mother's accounts.

USFA Snubnose.

No pics as I packed up my cam battery charger (I'm gonna find the stupid thing here soon) but I just laid hands on a "China Camp" in .45 Colt

It's just polished steel (I think) so I may have to give it a finish so I can use it,probably NP3 or such,I just want a SAA I can use and not stick in a box and look pretty,if the CC is polished steel it's ready to have a finish put on.

I saw one in a shop in Cody, WY about year ago. That same shop usually has one or two regular SA's in stock. My brother bought one about 4 years ago, and I have a pair of the brushed nickel Rodeo II's. I will agree, though, they are hard to find.
