What about the Peacemaker.....

My Vaquero. 45 Colt + 45 ACP cylinder.

This is an Adler Jaeger. One advice. Do not buy this piece of #$@#@.

When you firing it the parts are falling off. Even the diameter of the cilinderchambers arnt the same. If you load an .45 init it will by one chamber very easy and by the other chamber very stiff.

It is realy the worst SAA I have ever seen. Ofcourse is this an Bisley model.

Naw. It's perfect as a .45. Those great knarly barky stags look rather thin. Or at least not fat. BTW. There's a 2ND gen. .357 barrel and cylinder on G.B. right now. In my least favorite barrel length of 5 1/2".

Thanks for the info, but I'm like you. The 4 3/4" barrel is my favorite. The stags look thin, but are rather comfortable for me.

Stags that have that much pretty bark tend to be too fat. but your's look perfect.

[CAJUNLAWYER]

[Blacksmith58]

USFA .45 Colt, Ivories.

I don't know why, but that is one of the perty-est guns I ever did see. Blue Steel, Case Hardened and Ivory Grips. I love that combination!!! Gees!!! Now I want one just like it!!!

 

[gregintenn]

Nice bunch of guns guys. Really.
Doing this on an S&W Forum, we're lucky if lightning don't strike us.

I don't have a Great Western yet but I do have this 1st Generation 44/40 six shooter from circa 1894 which was nickeled at some point, and a 1860 Colt second year gun that is all original, part of a US Governemnt shipment. The box on the 1860 is not original, but the primer caps in the paper pouch are.

Well, in the first photo the top two are Colt SAA .44 Special 4 3/4" revolvers with real ivory grips. The bottom one is a Colt Peacemaker .22 LR/.22 WMR revolver. The next photo is of two (2) Colt New Frontier .22 LR/.22 WMR revolvers. These are the only photos I have of them and I am sorry for the poor photos and terrible photographer.

I also have an additional Colt SAA .45 Colt/.45 ACP 4 3/4" with Blue/CCH and carved ivory Grips. Finally I have a Colt SAA .45 Colt/.45 ACP 7 1/2" with Blue/CCH and the original grips on it.

I am also in the process of special ordering a Colt SAA Sheriff Model with 3 1/2" barrel with ejector rod in blue/CCH.

Yes, I like my Colt Peacemakers......

Here is a Peacemaker question, I hope someone can answer it for me: when (what year, I mean) did Colt start to release the Peacemaker with the Gutta Percha black rubber style grips? Was it before they changed from the Blackpowder style frame to the cross-pin? Or was it at the same time as the frame switch? Or later?

Someone here asked me that, and I had to tell them I honestly didn't know, but would try to find out. The person in question has an old Blackpowder style Peacemaker from around 1885/86 with well worn Gutta Percha grips...but they could have been "replaced" onto the revolver at any time over the last 120 some years, so we remain uncertain. Thanks, I am not trying to derail the thread.

The first gutta percha stocks fitted were near serial 73,000 in the early 1880's, well before the smokless powder frame. They were phased in as standard over a number of years. Both GP and hard rubber were available and most folks say the brownish ones are GP. The molded in eagle was gone before serial number 200,000.
