This Custom 1st Generation SAA features a 3 1/2" barrel with ejector and wears the ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING Nickel finish with fire-blue screws to accent. This unique example has been PHENOMENALLY Restored to re-create the famous "Sheriff's Model".
For nearly all of the past 138 years, Colt’s of Hartford, Conn., has made the Single Action Army revolver in .45 Colt. Produced in many barrel lengths, calibers, finishes, and styles, one of the more popular variations is the so-called Sheriff’s Model. The first was made in the 19th century and were known at the Hartford factory as the “ejectorless” Single Actions. The Sheriff’s Model terminology came from latter-day collectors, who also sometimes used the term “Storekeeper’s Model.”

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (also known as the SAA, Model P, Peacemaker, or M1873) is a single-action revolver handgun. It was designed for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1872 by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company (today known as Colt's Manufacturing Company) and was adopted as the standard-issued pistol of the U.S. Army from 1873 until 1892.
The Colt SAA has been offered in over 30 different calibers and various barrel lengths. Its overall appearance has remained consistent since 1873. Colt has canceled its production twice, but brought it back due to popular demand. The revolver was dubbed the "Peacemaker", and is a famous piece of Americana and the American Wild West era, due to its popularity with ranchers, lawmen, and outlaws alike. Today, they are mainly bought as memorabilia by collectors and re-enactors. Its design has influenced the production of numerous other models from other companies.
