Hello all,
The revolver bug is starting to burrow under my skin again, and I have really been putting off this purchase for a while due to its ridiculous cost, but...
Can someone school me on the current production Colt SAAs? Anyone purchased one recently? Or was it a family heirloom?
I've seen them in a case, but with ties on them so you can't work the action, so how are the actions and feel of them? Color Case finish vs. Nickle, etc. 4 3/4" vs. 5.5" barrel good and bads.
I know Beretta makes a quality repro for 1/3 of the cost, and the Ruger Vaquero is near indestructible for less than half...but I am a HUGE history fanatic and a Bona-fide Peacemaker is really lookin good...that being said...
I should add...I'm not a huge Colt (the Company) fan, don't know why, its not based on a rational experience, it just seems they charge more than they need to and don't really make it easy to like them. Its like they use real unicorn to make their revolvers and rest on their laurels for what they were in 1881.
Thank you for your help in advance,
RFB
