Brian Pierce has written some great articles on USFA single actions, still, being a Colt nut, I bought a NIB Colt SAA Peacemaker about three years ago... 45 Colt, 4&5/8 barrel, blue... I love it. Could not bring myself to drop the coin on a USFA, even if by many measures it is built to a higher quality. The Colt I have is plenty quality enough for me. Still, I would like to have had one of the USFA 7.5" guns patterned after those at the Little Big Horn... I forget what USFA named them...
