Thanks Timothy, I really like her
It just feels right in my hand, and its cool to finally have the historical SAA Ive been wanting. Ive had the itch since the first time I read about old west guns in a book by Time Life called "The Gunfighters."
Heres a funny part of the manual:
Collectors of fine firearms, such as this Colt revolver, should be aware that:
1. Loading and unloading the firearm will show wear and lead to loss of collector value.
2. Excessive handling will lead to premature wear and cause loss of value.
3. Firing this revolver will cause immediate extreme loss of collectors value.
CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE READ THE WARNING ABOVE, AND ACCEPT THE LOSS OF COLLECTORS VALUE AND THE RISK OF DANGER FROM LOADING THIS REVOLVER USE THE INFORMATION IN THE REST OF THIS MANUAL TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Sorry, dont know why, but this made me smile. I guess mine will just have to suffer immediate extreme loss of collectors value
While I dont blame those who collect them only, for me, I paid too much money to not make her work! Maybe after I win the lottery I will buy some to sit around.
