Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) remains an icon to American shooters. Due in no small part to its reputation as “the gun that won the West,” the popularity of the SAA “Peacemaker” continues to amaze its fans— including the manufacturer—and confound its critics. Yet, even a seminal design like the SAA can be improved to bring it up to modern expectations, and this is exactly what Colt has done. For the collector, Cowboy Action competitor, and casual shooter, Colt has introduced a new model of the Single Action Army revolver called the Colt Cowboy. The classic SAA remains in production at Colt as well.
Essentially, the new Colt Cowboy revolver was a Single Action Army with an investment cast, steel receiver, a slightly more utilitarian finish, and a transfer bar safety system. These changes enable Colt to offer the new Cowboy model at a suggested retail price of about half that of the standard SAA Peacemaker.
From any distance, it is difficult to distinguish a Cowboy from an SAA because Colt has gone to great lengths to preserve the style, balance, handling, and flavor of the classic Peacemaker. For example, cocking the Cowboy model produces three distinct clicks in a similar manner to the salutary four clicks of the Peacemaker; the half-cock loading position of the hammers remains the same. Other common features include barrel length, caliber, sights, grip shape, cylinder size and fluting, flat mainspring, and frame shape. Both models have a time-honored, case-hardened finish on the frame.
Comparing a Colt Cowboy side-by-side with an SAA, minor differences in design begin to emerge. For example, the high-polish blue on the Peacemaker’s barrel, ejector shroud, cylinder and grip frame has been replaced with a medium-polish blue on the Cowboy. Another change is in the Cowboy’s hammer, which is smaller than that of the SAA with a slightly different shape and horizontal grooves cut into the spur instead of the cross-hatching of the Peacemaker. The black plastic grip panels of the Cowboy share the rampant Colt logo with the SAA but lack the U.S. seal and motto.
