How do you compare the USFA with the Colt?

Many Collectors including my self consider the USAF to be superior to Colts but not by much. The currant production Gen 3 Colt SAA are considered the best ever produced by Colt. The Standard MFG clones look good but there are issues. They haven't been producing them for long maybe they will improve over time

I have a pair of Gen 3, engraved by a retired Weatherby engraver living in TX. I got them from a CAS shooter in TX, sent them to Nutmeg Sports for dead ele grips with deep dish medallions, shaped per my instructions. In fact, I sent them a one piece rosewood grip I had fitted for them to duplicate, which they did. These have nice case colors, iridescent even. They are .38 Spec, perfect for CAS. Actions are super slick. I've had USFA's and these are as nice, even better finished, nicer case colors.
