I must be getting old, because I am reverting to my childhood. I grew up watching and playing "cowboys and indians", and I really want a big ole single action, like this:

I have the standard model of that pistol in your picture.
Funny thing is, it's my old lady's favorite too. |

Fun defined in a large bore SAA clone ....

Pretty much exclusively now. I can't remember the last time I brought a semi with me, rifle or pistol. I'm not turning fuddy, but I just enjoy using my six shooters. Sometimes I'll bring some S&W's but most times it's the former. Maybe a bolt or lever for the plinking range.

Only one I currently own is a 50th Anniversary Blackhawk (.44 Mag) that I picked up last year. Will likely snag a .45 Colt/.45 ACP convertible soon.

I have a first gen Colt SAA in 32-20, third gen also in 32-20 (I know,not big calibers), a clone from Hammerli in 45 LC, and a Uberti Colt 1872 open-top in 45 LC. I am about to make the jump to adding on a muzzle loader - probably a Uberti clone of a Remington. I love modern guns, but something about the classic SA revolvers interests me as well.

Got a pair of Ruger Vaqueros in .45 Colt. Duel-wielding gunfighter style is fun.  Would like to pick up a Cimmaron (sp?) or other traditional-lockwork gun; I appreciate the sheer mechanical simplicity of these guns. Something like 8 moving parts in the whole fucking thing.

And people thing BRD is bad. SAA disease is far worse. Far, far, far worse! I have another Artillery model that I'm currently collecting parts for. It had been sent back to Colt at some time and converted to 32-20 and changed to two piece grips. I've found and purchased a correct R.A.C. proofed barrel and cylinder and correct one piece grips for it. Now I'm on a 12-24 month waiting list with one of the premier SAA smiths to get it put together.  I'll have the cost of a Larue in it when I'm done but it will be back the way Uncle Sam and Sam Colt intended. Half of the battle is finding original parts with patina matching the rest of the pistol. I don't want any refinishing or faux patina done on it.

Uberti .45 LC. I practice quick draw with it sometimes, instinctive shooting. I've still got my toes.
I imagine dragging it out if I ever have problems with a gang of bad dudes and fanning the hammer. |

Guy at the shop does conversions. Rugers to 5 shot big boys like .500 Linebaugh. I forget his others. I think there's a Casul in there.
Hurts my old hands too much. I let go my super Blackhawk. |

I've got a Bisley convertible 45LC/45 ACP- I love it; there is just something cool about single actions. That said, for heavy 45LC loads (or greater) my 454 Alaskan is less painful to shoot.

Yes that 454 you posted is a bucket list pistol of mine!
I have a single six as my only single action, but have been eyeballing a 45LC or 357 single action for a while. |

I have a Ruger Blackhawk in 357 and all the reloading stuff for 357/38. Sometimes I wish I'd invested in 45LC, but then I look at how much free brass I get every time I go to the range and reconsider.
Now that my dad has moved to Idaho and has bears around all the time, I may need to finally drop the money and get a big 45 of some sort. I've been yearning for one of the new Ruger Redhawks in 45LC/45ACP. ETA: This thread was just what I needed to push me into selling the 357 for a 45. I never seem to shoot the 357 anymore so it's time for something new. I have a friend who likes single-actions but doesn't own any yet, so I'll probably offer the gun and all my reloading stuff to him for $700 and see if he bites. |

You let it roll up, re-cock and draw down. Many people try and fight the rolling action. Once you get beyond that, they are as nice to fire as a 1911. |
