I came across a 4-3/4" 44 Special up in Da UP (eh?)... (reply)

...a couple years ago. It used to belong to Al Anderson, so it will be with me until I crater.

I have had two .44 Special Colt SAA resolvers....... (reply)

.........HAD being the operative term, sadly enough.

Also had a .357 SAA, a dual cylinder .22 Peacemaker, another dual cylinder .22 New Frontier, a 2nd Gen 1860 Army, a 2nd Gen Pocket Navy, a Python, an Official Police, two Detective Specials, several variations of Colt 1911s and Commanders, a Woodsman, a Lawman, a single shot Lord, a New Service, an Ace, and likely a few other Colts I have forgotten.

What I have not HAD is the sense to keep ANY of the above guns. Not. A. One. I do have a Colt 2nd Gen 3rd Model Dragoon, the Guiseppe Garibaldi edition no less. If I stay focused, I may own that one until I'm pushing up daisies.

Sigh......

I always run across 32-20s and and 257s...want a 44 spl!

I thought it looked like a 2nd Gen (reply)

Something about the finish just looked like a 2nd Gen to me. Very nice!

It was bought new in 1974. The grips are ivory. I have the rubber grips as well. It is a shooter and has been since it was new. I enjoy it too much for it to ever stay in the safe very long.

That is a thing of beauty. What are the grips.

If that gun doesn't make you drool a bit then you don't love single actions. I love my USFA but they just don't have that same look that time gives those old Colts. Keep shooting it please, I hate the idea if them becoming safe queens...

What Generation is that SAA? (reply)

cubrock — Wed, 25 Dec 2013 03:13:02 +0000

Love it!

Someday, someday. A .44 Spl will come my way. NM (reply)

I shot this one a lot this afternoon. When I shoot it I am reminded all over again why this revolver has been so popular for so long. One of Rob's great holsters surely does carry it nice. Merry Christmas every one.
