Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Single Action Army Custom Tuned by Bob James.
Bob James is one of the most respected names in the Colt Single Action Army world, known for master-level action tuning that improves function while preserving the revolver’s collector integrity. Within serious Colt circles, his reputation comes from doing the work the “right” way—perfecting timing and carry-up, optimizing bolt and hand fit, refining sear engagement for a crisp, predictable trigger, and smoothing internal bearing surfaces while maintaining correct Colt geometry. The result is an SAA that retains its authentic feel but cycles noticeably smoother, locks up more consistently, and runs more reliably, often with reduced drag and cleaner operation that experienced Colt shooters immediately recognize. Collectors and owners seek him out because his approach is subtle and respectful, avoiding heavy-handed modifications that can hurt originality, and instead delivering a mechanically correct revolver that performs exactly as a fine Colt should. Having a Single Action Army tuned by Bob James is widely viewed as a mark of quality and discernment—added confidence that the action is right, the gun is dependable, and the work was done by a specialist whose name carries real weight in the Colt community.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Model P, Peacemaker, M1873, Single Action Army, SAA, ) is a single-action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six metallic cartridges. It was designed for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1873 by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, today Colt’s Manufacturing Company, and adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. It is perhaps the most copied, fraudulently modified to replicate an original Colt SAA, than any other revolver made. The third generation began in 1976, and it was characterized by a change in barrel thread pitch and a solid cylinder bushing replacing the removable/replaceable parts from the first and second generations. This Generation of production began with ser. no. 80,000SA, and reached 99,999SA in 1978. At this point, the SA suffix changed to a prefix beginning with SA01,001. Serialization reached SA99,999 in 1993. In 1994, production resumed with the increase in popularity of "Cowboy Action Shooting".
