BLACK POWDER FRAME Antique COLT SAA “PEACEMAKER” .44 Revolver STAG GRIP
.44 Russian Single Action Army Revolver
Description: BLACK POWDER FRAME Antique COLT SAA “PEACEMAKER” .44 Revolver STAG GRIP .44 Russian Single Action Army Revolver Here we present an antique Black Powder Frame Colt Single Action Army, made in 1878 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt Single Action Army was introduced in 1873 and has become one of the most iconic firearms in all of history, thanks to its widespread use by the U.S. military, civilians and, more recently, in Western films. 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. The overall condition is good. Refinished. The action has all four clicks and holds all three positions. The cylinder indexes and locks up well. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. Solid stag grips. Numbers match, though the numbering on the trigger guard seems to have been restamped. This one has been rechambered for .44 Russian. Own the original!
