USFA SAA's may be the best non-Colts on the market. IMHO, they beat the Italian clones. But, they won't hold their value like a Colt. I've had both and can't say the USFA's shoot any better than Colts. Probably as good, but not better.

IMHO, you're better off saving up and putting your green backs on the ponies, those guns with real Colt ponies stamped on their frames... smile

Actually, top of the line, case hardened USFA's are almost as expensive as Colts. Those bead blasted USFA's, silver or black, are ugly. So, with that bit of info, buying the real deal is a no brainer... laugh
