c1901 mfr COLT Bisley Model SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 Special Revolver SAA C&R
1st Generation Colt Single Action Army
Here we present a Colt Bisley Model Single Action Army Revolver in .38 Special, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1901. Though Colt enjoyed the largest contracts of any handgun maker during the American Civil War, it had to rely on its array of percussion fired revolvers, namely the 1860 Army until the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent expired in 1869. This enabled them to begin making revolvers with completely bored through cylinder chambers in order to utilize modern metallic cartridge ammunition in the most effective manner. In 1869, Colt’s began development of a suitable cartridge revolver in earnest, first coming out with a number of conversions for their percussion lines, until 1872 when they debuted what was to become the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army in the 1872 U.S. Trials. Needless to say, it won, and became the Army’s revolver of choice. It also became the sidearm of choice for many others like cowboys, guards, lawmen, crooks, shopkeepers and all manner of civilians.
This is an example of the Bisley variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver. The primary differences were a lower hammer spur and a more curvaceous grip frame. These were optimized toward target shooting but many general users and shooters who were not simply target shooters preferred them as well. It has had the barreled replaced for the .38 Special caliber.
The overall condition is very good. This piece has been refinished with blue and case colors. The barrel and cylinder are chambered for .38 Special and were replaced, probably concurrent with the refinish. The action is strong. The bore is shiny bright with nice rifling. The grips are in good shape and overhang the frame ever so slightly.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
