Since Mike is here, better yet it would be fun to see what he thinks today.
My thought is "some info might well be dangerous". Better to have a clearer picture of what is involved in the discussion.

Colt did not warranty the SAA for smokeless powder until 1900

Is that a fact or just "common knowledge"? Or did Colt only VP proof guns that were stamped as such beginning around 1905/6?

The topic has been a long conversation here:
(30) Black Powder or Smokeless? Where to draw the line on a older Colt SAA? | Page 13 | Colt Forum

I'd rather eat

Educated discussions are generally enlightening. Easier to discuss a topic here than read an article and leave it at that. I believe that is what Hatman asked. "Thoughts? Comments? Reactions?"

Mike V knows a lot more about Colts than he put into the one short article.

Mike, thank you for adding to the conversation and giving us all some context.
