Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Boy it's purty, but for that price I could get a Ruger or FAA, and send it to Turnbull or Bowen to make it mighty nice, and it would STILL be 'made in America'....

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
^^^ That's true, but based on the description, it seems that their goal is to produce a SAA that is indistinguishable from an original Colt. At least that's how I interpret it. And based on the price, it is under the going rates for NIB Colt 3rd Generation revolvers.

Looks real nice, thanks for showing it.

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Nice looking gun, I was not aware of that company, glad to see another American company
making quality guns from the past. I've got a few guns from Italy but sure prefer American
made any day of the week. Congratulations

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Ruger isn't even comparable to what this is. Freedom Arms Premier Grade start at $2800.
I would be interested if it was offered in a different caliber. I only wish I bought a USFA when they were still in business.

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Doesn't sound like that price is out of line for the amount of hand fitting and finishing involved. I was just about to spend about $2K to replace my Bowen Super Black Hawk, not including the cost of the revolver to be worked on. I would also like to see on in .44-40, hopefully they will have some success with these and add some more calibers.

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Yep, very nice looking gun, and made in America. But being retired and on a pension, if I were to save up, I'd get the real thing. Gun Genie has a Colt SSA for just a little more (about $100.00)...
In the mean time I'll just shoot my "economy" Cimarron SSA. I can pretend it's a Colt when I cock the hammer I hear C, O, L, T...

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
Plus a FA gun isn't stoned, you pay extra for that from them. And I too wish I'd have got a USFA when they were still making guns.

Re: New SSA Made In The USA
The "real" thing is over-buffed, over-sprung, over-hyped and over-priced. Other than CCH, your Cimarron gives up nothing to 3rd Generation Colts. But, if you insist on buying a revolver with the little pony stamped on the right side of the receiver, I have a NIB 5 1/2" .44 Special I'll gladly sell for the price of a new Standard SA. Just PM me!mikld wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 10:10 am Yep, very nice looking gun, and made in America. But being retired and on a pension, if I were to save up, I'd get the real thing.
