Colt Single Action Army Forum Section PHOTO THREAD !

Difficult choice: Which one to shoot today?

This thread needs a Colt Buntline Special 45.

Picked up a 4 3/4" SAA for a decent price. In great condition with box (blue box with white sleeve). Looks like it dates to around 2007 (SN S477XXA).

(that's not a scratch on the cylinder, just a shadow from the corn husk )

And here it is with some of it's bigger brothers. It's hard keeping those pumpkins in check.

Two civilians: one from 1875 the other from 1877

Picked up a 2nd gen NRA Centennial; appears to be in "new" condition. I like the case hardening of the 2nd gens.

This is my Frontier Six Shooter, rebuilt with a modern barrel, cylinder, grips, etc. Also, a lot of welding to fix dished out screw holes and general over polishing. I couldn't get the etching on the other side of the barrel yet, so it's bare.

Reworked 1910 SAA:

Here is my only Colt Single action. It's in .45 Colt and was assembled in 1883 and shipped October 30th of that year to Simmons Hardware in St. Louis , MO.
I cast my own .454 250 grain LYMAN bullets and load them with 30 grains of ffg, which although not compressed, fills the case well and is pleanty powerful for use around here. I sometimes wear my gun belt outside when I'm working away from the house because there just isn't any lawman around here for 30 miles. Our nearest neighbor is 3/4 of a mile away. Lots of shiester salesmen with a criminal history come driving through our gates past our Stay Away signs.

Just bought this one from a fellow member of the forum. I have about a dozen Colts but this is my first SAA. 1883 Artillery. DFC, HN, RAC.
