I've said I don't care much for single-action revolvers and would probably never buy another one. But I've always had it in the back of my head that I would like to own a Colt Single Action Army. A real Colt, not an imitation, or a copy, but one with the prancing pony on it. Never thought I'd get one though, when I'd see one they were priced higher than I was willing to pay...until the other day.

I saw this one, a, I'm told, 1982, third generation Single Action Army, with what I think of as the classic 4 5/8" barrel, in 357 Magnum. The 357 part was important to me. I don't want to start reloading for a new cartridge, plus I already have coffee cans full of 38/357 brass scrounged over the years, and couple of boxes of Berry's plated bullets for 38/357. That and the price tag of $1200.00 were enough to make me just give up and put it on layaway. I talked them into a few bucks off, but not a lot. After all, if I didn't buy it, the next guy would.

A couple of crappy cell phone pictures before it got hauled off to wherever layaway guns go until I can get them out of hock.





No box or papers and I can't tell that it's ever been fired. I probably will...but maybe not.

Probably none. With the exception of my edc I don't have holsters for any of my handguns. Oh I've got a couple around here that I've had for twenty or more years but if I carry a gun anywhere it's in a range bag.

Kinda wish I still has that Bianchi John Wayne commerative I had unused for all those years back. :supergrin:

Wow, very happy for you. That seems like a smoking deal to me. I am not of a fan if SA revolvers either even though I have a couple. I think the main reason is I'm just too damn impatient to sit there and eject each case one at a time. :upeyes:

Stunning firearm, one of the best on the market today.
Glocks, Sigs, etc. aside with night sights, rails, etc. are fun but it's also nice to have a functional piece of art like that Colt is.
Loading and unloading it one cartridge at a time is just so nice.
