I never thought I would like SA revolvers but I picked up a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum and I was hooked!
I reload for it and can shoot as light (or heavy) as I want. There will be more SAs in my future!

Wonderful photos guys. You guys have class.

Love the nickel plated New Model #3! What a beautiful revolver!

 

[Drail]

Compare any of those to a Glock - and it looks like a cheap Lego toy. (voice of Anton Chigur - "which it is....")

Nothing puts a smile on my face quicker than spending some quality time at the range with my single action revolvers.

 

[Drail]

Wow. The case colors on that 4th Colt .45 down are just beautiful. Is that an Italian job?

Yep, it's a Beretta Stampede but really an Uberti by any other name.

Absolutely a wonderful collection of guns. You have to be dead not to like single action pistols.

My favorite kind of firearm is a Single Action Revolver.

 

[bannockburn]

Have to add my Colt Model 1860 and my latest single action: a Pietta Remington Model 1858 in .36 caliber.

 

[Armored farmer]

I dug this one out, so I guess I'll get some extra mileage out of the picture tonight:

Whilst I have photobucket cracked open...

A pair of project revolvers, hopefully have time to finish them this summer, original Vaqueros in 44mag:

My old standby hunting workhorse I picked up in 1998:

These are not the only single action revolvers I own, but they are a bit unique. I hated the black "bluing" Ruger used on these, so I stripped off the factory finish. It's fun to play with combinations of cold blue and plum/brown finishes for a one-of-a-kind look. Well, maybe two-of-a-kind!

 

[MosinT53Hunter]

Here are the only two I have, and I keep them for sentimental reasons than anything else. One is pretty unique, but both have a lot of history.



My two single actions. One is a Ruger 357 Mag Three Screw.



The other is a Great Western Arms 357 Atomic Mag.
