Hey guys,
A friend asked me the above question the other day, and it stumped me, I couldn't come up with any suggestions. He loves the look of the old Single Action Army aka Peacemaker, and wants to get one for plinking and such. I don't think he's too particular about caliber or manufacturer (I think he'd be perfectly happy with one of the cheap .22 versions out there), so long as it has the classic lines of the SAA. Unfortunately, due to an old injury, he can only shoot double-action revolvers (it is extremely painful for him to cock the hammer manually). To my knowledge, all the various SAA-inspired guns are true to the 'Single Action' part of the name, even some of the newer ones with incorporated safeties and such. I am guessing that it is difficult (impossible?) to squeeze all the extra components required for a double-action trigger into the space constraints of a SAA frame/grip. I am hoping for his sake that one of you guys can prove me wrong. If anyone has heard of a SAA-style gun with a double action trigger, please let me know. Thanks!!
