Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (SAA), also known as the "Peacemaker," is one of the most iconic revolvers in American firearms history. Introduced in 1873, it became the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. Army and played a defining role in the American West, serving lawmen, outlaws, soldiers, and settlers alike. Designed by Colt’s legendary engineer William Mason, the SAA features a robust single-action mechanism, a six-round cylinder, and a fixed firing pin on the hammer. Its design was simple, reliable, and durable—ideal for the rugged conditions of the frontier. The original models were chambered in .45 Colt, but over time, Colt offered the revolver in a wide variety of calibers, making it adaptable to various uses, from military service to civilian self-defense and sport shooting. The Colt SAA has been produced in multiple generations, with each reflecting subtle refinements in craftsmanship, materials, and production techniques. First Generation models (1873–1941) are highly prized by collectors, while Second Generation (1956–1974) and Third Generation (1976–present) models remain popular among shooters and enthusiasts. Offered in various barrel lengths—4¾", 5½", and 7½" being the most common—the SAA is instantly recognizable for its clean lines, balanced handling, and timeless aesthetic. Whether configured in blued and case-hardened finishes or more ornate nickel or engraved versions, the Colt Single Action Army remains a symbol of American ingenuity and tradition. Today, it continues to captivate firearms collectors and cowboy action shooters alike, preserving the legacy of one of the most storied handguns ever made.
