I have recently seen some late model SAAs with serial numbers close to S89000A. What is the highest you have seen from recent production?

The newest SAA I have was made in 2014 and has serial number S63193A. The highest serial number I have is S66265A which was made in 2012.

Anyone here have one above S88000A? Do you like it? How is the quality currently and over the past year or so?

The guns I have seen recently online with serial numbers around S87000A and higher seem to have gotten away from Turnbull case colors and look more like what I think of as traditional Colt case colors. There was a time in the last few years maybe around serial number S85000A when the case colors were an unmitigated disaster. Flat, gray, ugly, shockingly bad in fact. But it looks like they have gotten the case colors sorted out again. Prices seem a little crazy, but I guess that's life. What do people think about the current/recent guns?

Thanks

I have an S87xxx with very nice case colors. I have an S88xxx and the colors have less "pop" than the S87 gun.

But I am happy being the caretaker of both.

This one is in the mid 87's bought in sept 2019. The new ones are the nicest examples I've seen in a great while.

I have one I got last year. Serial number dates it to 2019.
im no SAA aficionado but it seems like it’s made really well and shot just fine to point of aim.
Serial number S880**A

I own S8811*A. I like the look but haven't shot it, not sure if I will

I picked this one up 3 months ago, 87***A. It shoots fine, basically point of aim.

SA889XXA Purchased NIB last month. First ever Colt. First Colt SAA I've seen on the shelf. First time I spent that much money on a firearm. Nothing but Uberti and Pietta before this. Nothing to compare it to quality-wise, but you can tell why it costs more than the above mentioned clones.

Nothing in the gun world is better than owning a brand new Colt SAA!

Congratulations!
