Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army, also known as the Model P, Peacemaker, or SAA, is a single-action revolver with a cylinder that holds six metallic cartridges. It was designed by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1873 and was adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892. It has been widely copied and modified to replicate the original Colt SAA. The Third Generation of the Colt SAA began in 1976. It was characterized by a change in barrel thread pitch and replacing the removable/replaceable part with a solid cylinder bushing. This generation was produced as a limited-issue product with serial numbers ranging from SA80,000 to SA99,999 and ran until 1982. In 1994, production resumed due to the increase in popularity of "Cowboy Action Shooting." These models are known as either "Late Third Generation" or sometimes Fourth Generation, with the serial number convention changing yet again, starting with serial number S02001A and continuing to use the "S" prefix and "A" suffix as of 2022. Colt offers the Single Action Army in either an all-nickel or blued finish with a color case-hardened frame. It is available in three barrel lengths: 4 3/4", 5 1/2", and 7 1/2", and six chamberings: 32-20, 38-40, 44-40, .38 Special, 357 Magnum, or 45 Colt, totaling 36 variations.
