Hi, I was looking for thoughts and opinions from others on the Colt's that are 3rd generation and manufactured in 1992 without the removable cylinder bushing. I know most feel that the 3rd generations built after they started (went back) to the removable cylinder bushing have a better over all quality. I found one in 44-40 NIB and have it tucked away with deposit. With the understanding I wanted a week to think on it. I just stumbled onto this one and it was on the shelf when I was picking up a different Colt. But 44-40 is my favorite cartridge and I reload for it. I had been wanting a 4 3/4" barreled Colt and already have 45Colt and 32-20. But I am a little worried about the build date on this SAA and wanted to hear from others with Colt SAA revolvers from this time period. The wood grips are one piece and appear to be Birdseye Maple with a dark color stain. It is CCH and Blue. Blue box with white outer sleeve. So any big con's to these early 3rd generation revolvers? This would be a shooter and hunting companion.
Thanks, DMH
