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 National Rifle Association was founded in 1871 and chartered in New York. The group was founded by William Conant Church and George Wood Wingate and it elected retired General Ambrose Burnside as its first president in 1871. The group’s original goal was to support marksmanship programs that could be used to help the military better train recruits. The organization was not initially dedicated to preserving ordinary citizens Second Amendment rights, it actually supported a number of restrictive measures including the 1968 Gun Control Act. The NRA would only begin to realign itself as a Conservative advocacy group in the 1970s, that is when it started to use its influence to oppose more restrictive measures vis-a-vis gun rights. The organization has a long and complex history. This particular revolver was made by Colt in 1971 to celebrate the group’s centennial anniversary.
