The Colt SAA has undergone several evolutions since its inception, with the Third Generation beginning in 1976, introducing changes in barrel thread pitch and a solid cylinder bushing for improved performance. This generation ran until 1982 and was followed by a resurgence in production in 1994, driven by the rising popularity of "Cowboy Action Shooting." The current offerings include various finishes—either all-nickel or blued with a color case-hardened frame—and multiple barrel lengths (4¾", 5½", and 7½"), as well as six different chamberings, showcasing a total of 36 variations. The synthetic black checkered grips, adorned with the iconic Eagle and Rampant Colt logos, not only enhance the revolver's classic appearance but also ensure a comfortable and secure hold. Despite a few production halts, the SAA remains immensely popular and a prized collector's item, celebrated as a symbol of American history and craftsmanship. Today, the Colt Single Action Army continues to capture the essence of a bygone era, influencing firearm design and serving as a beloved representation of the American spirit, cherished by collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
