Your question was already answered way back in the thread, possibly before you asked it.

You know the internet is about to reach its end when people are defending the honor of the Uberti.

Holy fugking Christ.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I just don't like Craigcunt.

You obviously don't know how many revolvers he owns.





Dave

It doesn't matter how old he is, and you proved his post was far from meaningless. You proved him correct by trying to get the last word in...again.

I don't see anyone comparing you to an idiot, I see them calling you an idiot, which is spot on.

Actually Colts are underrated. Show me another gun designed in 1871 that has stayed unmodified and all these years later is still produced and copied...

To answer CraigC

I'm older than 90% of the posters here.

My point proven once again, numerous times. This kinda reminds me of the teenage nonsense in the YouTube comments section. A whole bunch of rhetoric and personal bullshit and not one word with any substance. You idiots can pile as high as you like, it won't change a thing. Most mobs are comprised of idiots.



Says the guy with 80,000 posts. How do you ever even have the time to shoot with all that nonsense to post???



It was never answered and still remains unanswered. You're the idiot who brought it up but can't seem to support your own statements with facts of any sort.



More misinformation from the peanut gallery. For starters, the SAA was designed by William Mason in late 1872. Secondly, it has not been in constant production and it has not remained unchanged. What any of that has to do with the actual quality of the Colt SAA is beyond me. Currently, Colt is producing somewhere under 200 SAA's a month and they are the best they've ever been. It has not always been so, with some serious lulls in quality througout 3rd generation production. Quite often good guns but never really living up to the legend. Otherwise, USFA never would've gotten off the ground.

Do you have anything useful to add, about single action revolvers?

Not the last word Craig!

Isn't that what you did?

Can we get back to talking about single action revolvers?

Not the last word Craig! grin

Oh the irony!

Actually, I'm just padding my post count so I can get some credibility. If I do this another 50,000 times, my word will become gospel!

Craig,

I have refused name calling as it doesn't accomplish much, but you do run your mouth a bit wreckless. The Colt SAA has a patent date as early as 1871. It was tested by the Army in 1872 and accepted as their service revolver and served until 1892. That alone is a pretty good endorsement to its design. It remains the same now as it was initially designed, I still challenge you to beat that performance with any gun...

I'm just responding to the words on the screen.

That's Charles Richards' patent date for the breech loading design. The other date is for William Mason's patent for the improved ejector. These were applied to cartridge conversions preceding the Model P. Like I said, the Model P was designed in late 1872 in just a few months, after the army rejected the 1871-1872 Open Top.

The gun does not remain the same. Quite a few things have been changed over time. Including the shame of the triggerguard, barrel thread pitch, cylinder bushings, cylinder bevels, front sights, hammer profiles, etc.. Such that few if any 1st generation parts interchange with 3rd's.

Which has zero to do with the quality of the Colt product. For the most part, you're preaching to the choir. Colt would've never even reintroduced after WWII were it not for Ruger.

Hey Craig, guess what,
Not the last word.

Could someone tell me what kind of gun this is and what is stamped on it?

It's either a US marked Colt SAA with traces of the original finish or a very well done replica.

You still think the gun was designed in 1871?
