Single action revolvers are essential . shoot it some, it'll grow on you. Usfa revolvers are top notch.

I'm not really a single action guy, but...

I think you can make an exception in this one particular instance!

Congrats on a most excellent acquisition and for having a most perceptive wife!

But I think I'll make an exception for this one. It's my wife's fault. I said I wasn't going to get it. She said "Get the (blank) gun. I'm not going to listen to you whine and cry about how you should have." Gee. The respect I get.

Without further ado...

USFA, SAA, in 45 Colt. Unfired since leaving the factory as best I can tell, with box, papers, etc. Little envelope with spent cartridge says April of 2006.

I don't know what I'll do with it. I did manage to get a box of 45 Colt ammo for a little less than the cost of the gun, but it might be a safe queen too. To early to tell yet.

Sweet! ....also I think you'll begin to enjoy single actions the more that hawgleg is fired.

Cajun Bass...I was about to recount the scene in Open Range were the mercantile shop owner told Robert Duvall he never tried the chocolate. Your decision to shoot the gun... if even sparingly, precluded that. Good on yah!

$1300 is far less less than the asking prices, posted in my area, for USFA sixguns. You did well! Enjoy!

$1300 is a good price. When I shipped my 5 1/2" .44spcl USFA in back in 2018 (I think) and did the transfer, I had to pay sales tax on the gun at time of transfer. Until I dug up the invoice from online, the FFL wanted to charge me for "average retail value" based on current (as of 2018) price for guns of the same condition...to the tune of $1800, so you did pretty good.

It doesn't get any better than a 100% USA made USFA SA.

That is NICE! Congrats!

I bought a couple of single actions in the mid-90’s and tried SASS out... but it sort of faded with me after a few years so I gave one (Uberti .45 C) to a friend as a going away present and kept the other (Stainless Old Vaquero .45 C) in the safe. I followed the duty gun-to striker fired gun- to AR path, so it didn’t get shot very much for a long time.


(With nickel S&W Model 49)

Many years later I discovered Gun Broker and bought a single six .22/.22M convertible from New York and shot this a lot with both cylinders over the past fifteen years.

Then Ruger came out with the Wrangler, so I bought one a couple years ago . This’ll is so much fun to plink about with that it will be my sons gun when he’s old enough to own it.



Now in the last two years or so I’ve been bitten with by the Ruger SA bug... A 5.5” flat top .44 Spl...



was followed several months later by a 6.5” Bisley .32 Magnum that is super cool.



Then to top it off a 6.5” .41 Magnum followed me home at the end of last year.



As others have posted, I’ve discovered that these guns are like potato chips... it’s a rare bird who can stop at just one.

Congrats on buying a really, really nice SA, I think you’re going to enjoy it a ton.

Stay safe.

You did good thanks to your great wife. I have one like that. Wife that is. I've heard "Get the --- gun before someone else buys it while you are fiddling around" statement quite a few time from my very exceptional wife.
