I love Colt SAA and I love 44 Special. When I saw this for sale, I jumped on it. Decent price. 1980 3rd Gen…

Also picked up a hardcover updated version of my favorite Colt SAA book…

I do not have a single revolver chambered for the 44 S&W Special cartridge. Yours seems to be a nice one!

I now have this Colt. I have a Ruger GP100 in 44 special. 3” barrel. Great packing pistol built like a tank. And the more expensive S&W 696. A nice revolver. I also have a Lipsey Special Ruger Flattop Blackhawk in 44 Special with a 4 5/8” barrel that came out about 20 years ago.

And I also EDC a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special with some pretty stiff loads. I like outgunning the opposition.

I love the Black Eagle grips on the SAA. They harken back to the late 19th and early 20th century when these pistols were carried everyday and cherished.

Wood and ivory is also beautiful, but I am partial to these grips. They also fit the hand well.

Also… Elmer Keith blew up a couple in his development of the 44 magnum… 😉

Mostly I like this platform as a easy packing pistol, as defined by John Taffin.

A 44 Special loaded with a good Keith SWC moving out at 900-1000fps will basically kill anything living in the lower 48 states.

Beautiful!

Thanks. She’s not going into the safe. She’s going to digest a healthy amount of Skeeter Skelton loads.

I enjoy shooting my two Colt SAA's. These were made in 2007,2008. Both came with their boxes and all paper work.

That is one beautiful SA revolver.

I have two previous SAA in 45. A SAA like this 44 special and an older Colt New Frontier 45 with mammoth ivory grips.

 

[59dexta]

I like the ivory they are distinctive!

I’d love to score an older Colt Twirler, especially chambered in 44 Special! Outstanding pick up, congratulations!!
