I could not resist the apparently unfired OLD nickel 7.5" .45 Colt "Jager Italy 1873 model" on top of barrel and "Dakota 11.55 mm" plus Italian proofs on side of barrel SAA. No weird safeties, walnut grips unfinished and much handled since the old boy bought it in early 70s. Nickel is perfect and mirrored, locks up good and tight BUT trigger is too light at 1/2 a pound
Old boy "played" with gun alot but never shot it ! , I paid $200 of the money I sold an Arisaka and bayonet for and still have enough for a couple boxes of .45 LC. I ordered a spring kit from Bob's of Ark, but wonder how would be the best way to safen up the sear engagement? I have hard arkansaw slips I could deepen engagement or should I file down a new Colt Saa sear?
