Great SAA's guys!Very nice saa's.

Something very "artistic and fluid" about the lines of a SAA isn't there?
The last one I bought (5.5 Uberti) is 45LC, but I was looking for it in 44-40.

I agree, those are some of the prettiest stags I've ever seen!
Where did you get them?
Well, I have shown these on the Forum a time or two already but, okay.....!
Ruger Vaqueros - old model - .45 Colt
Charles Daly SAA replica - .45 Colt
And because they're pretty and definitely SAA replicas in their own right, an original Ruger Single Six. .22 LR, unmodified, a later Ruger Single Six with transfer bar, .22 WMR (oops - that's not the correct order in the picture!), and a Ruger Bearcat, old style, .22 LR, unmodified. Interestingly, to the best of my knowledge, the Colt Paterson model and the Bearcat are similarly sized.
Several others that I owned have moved on to other owners, including two original Vaqueros in .44-40 and a 5 inch barreled Vaquero in .45 Colt. But the most interesting SAA replica that I ever owned was my first, an Armi San Marco in .45 Colt with a true Hollywood bird's head grip-frame. Gorgeous gun but it had issues so I sent it to Bob Munden. He fixed it but he made the trigger so light only a super competitor could handle it and I was then just starting in cowboy shooting so I had to sell it for a gun with a more "conservative" trigger. That Charles Daly pictured above is straight from the factory and it's trigger is nearly as light as the one that Bob M did for me so I never used it to compete. But I kept it because it's such a cool gun!!!!

I picked-up the Holster and Yellowboy from the same Pawn Shop. The Holster is made local to me by Wm. Brown Holster Co. in Tombstone, AZ and was designed by a local ex-stuntman. Might have even been his? I got it for less than 1/2 of what they go for new.
The Dixie Gun Works Uberti 1866 Yellowboy has an Indian tack design. And although Uberti used to offer a model like it, I think it was done by the previous owner. It was probably someones SASS gun. Someone here might even recognize it? It's in .44-40, and shoots like a dream with my reloads.
The ISM (EMF Import) Black powder frame SAA came from a local gun shop for around $300. It too is a .44-40 & had been sitting there for awhile. I guess nobody likes calibers that aren't readily available. I reload, so more for me.

That was built by Savage-Stevens and IIRC, it is a Model 235.
