OT: Question for Colt SAA experts

[feralmerril]

I own 4 various colt SAAs. Two thrid generations in .44 special and .45 colt. A old converted 1906 copper queen mine to .44 special and a old refinished one in 32-20. Also owned some more in the past that are gone. I like them but seldom use them. I got to remidy that.
I started out with a ruger single six almost 50 years ago. That is what I learned on, probley put more rounds through it than all guns since. I got to where I could throw a bottel in the air, draw and hit it more often than not. Cant do it anymore. They can be accurate and the only thing you give up is speed of reloading.
Yes they are over priced but even so you can get your money out of them too.
If you know what you are doing you can always get your money out of a used colt single action or a used harley!

I have sold off my 3rd gen Colt SAA's but still have a couple of 2nd gen guns. I plan in the next few months to shoot my thus far unfired 1956 (first year 2nd gen production) 39xxSA SN. Of course, with John Wayne comm 45 Colt ammo.

The Colt forum has a section just for revolvers - lots of SAA stuff there.

Thinking of picking up a SAA 45 long Colt myself,what size barrel to get 4.75" or 5.5"?Gun will not be fired,just an addition to the collection.It will be my first single action revolver.

Well...since I shoot with the 4.75", why don't you "pick up" a 5.5" so there will be 1 more SAA out there for me to shoot with? Or better yet...just buy a non-firing replica, since it'll only be for your collection.

Sorry...just couldn't resist the temptation for sarcasm.
