I bid on and won a genuine Colt Single Action Army. My son expressed an interest in this gun so I decided to get it for him for Christmas. Of course, he isn’t quite old enough to own it so it will be registered in my name until he is old enough. I was kind of surprised how difficult it is to find this gun for purchase anywhere. I ended up buying a used one in near mint condition (this is a gun that is 16-18 years old) but it was still more than double the cost of a decent clone.
Not really expecting to get it in time for the holidays but I can’t wait to get it. I owned a Ruger Vaquero in .45 Long Colt, which this one is also chambered in, but I sold it many years ago because I just didn’t shoot it much. I still have some .45 Long Colt ammo though so I’ll definitely use it.
I purchased a Smith & Wesson model 29 and a Springfield Armory 1911 TRP this year. I’ve put about 100 rounds through the model 29 and around 200 rounds through the SA.
