The Colt Single Action Army design remains one of the most influential revolvers in American firearm history. Its straightforward mechanics, proven reliability, and collector appeal make it a centerpiece for enthusiasts who value period-correct shooting and museum-quality examples that still perform on the range.

COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY (SAA)

Historic build and mechanical condition

This particular COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY (SAA) was built in 1896 and retains a 4 3/4 inch barrel with a very good bore. The Smithsonian-level lineage of the SAA platform paired with a firearm that still shows solid mechanical integrity—“all 4 clicks and cylinder tight”—makes this a museum-worthy shooter. Simmons adjusted the timing and test-fired one round from each cylinder position, confirming functional timing and indexing.

Tactical and practical considerations

Cartridge and ammunition notes

The revolver is chambered in .41 LC (Long Colt), a period cartridge that benefits shooters interested in authentic historical shooting or moderate-power field use. Although originally associated with black powder era loads, this example is set up to use smokeless powder—important for safe modern shooting practices. The .41 Long Colt offers manageable recoil while delivering respectable stopping power for close-range field work and cowboy-action competitions.

Finish, wear, and collector value

Described as machine grey with most original blue gone, the patina is consistent with an honest 19th-century piece that has been used and maintained. The price of $6,450.99 reflects its age, bore condition, mechanical integrity, and the verified timing adjustment performed by a qualified gunsmith.
