Nope.
Buy Uberti and you will have a better product and a real shooter. Colt triggers suck. Colt is asshoe to consumers for the AR platform and the 1873 style platform. I have no idea why they used to have booth at the major SASS matches. Absolute shit triggers and no fucks given about making enough production to get prices in a more competitive territory. Stainless is also a good thing:

Years ago I was given a Beretta Stampede as gift, nice pistol but I think I read its a painted on finish and not true case coloring. |

I can compete with an out of the box Uberti. I have seen me do it.
Colt, not so much. (I actually do own two Colts)  Rugers are built like a battleship, so take a good look at them too. They don't have all that stupid lawyer shit on the side on the newer ones.

Uberti has stepped on their dicks lately with all the safety crap.
Pietta Still makes an honest 4 clicker and quality is rivaling Uberti and triggers are better. |

The only thing "wrong" with my 3rd gen Colt trigger is that it is a smidge too light. Well worth the $1200 I paid for it a couple years ago. I have handled many a SAA by multiple manufacturers. In my experience Colt beats everyone except USFA and Standard Manufacturing. You pay for those two as well. The others make fine revolvers for their price point, and if I was going to shoot them a lot I would get a Pietta.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Uberti is really that much better than colt? . No. Uberti is not ‘better than Colt’ as a rule. Not to mention the Uberti front sight doesn’t look as good as Colts. Are some Ubertis better than some junk 1980s 3rd Gens? Possibly. |

Quoted: Are Colt SAA revolvers ever found for list price? Been looking for several years now and every time I see one they are always well over 2k Another way to look at it: You could have paid the price several years ago and been enjoying the gun all this time. |

I bought one just like it in .357 Magnum when I graduated high school in 1979 (Damn I'm old.  ) It's still going strong after all these years.

I just got a lightly handled, possibly unfired 7.5" SAA (1979 SN range) on GB for $1825. Next one will be an artillery model, going to try to get that one on post to save on the WA sales

Not to hijack the thread, but I immediately wondered what CZ would do with the SAA line when they announced they were buying Colt. Ramp up production a bit? Clean up QC issues?
Thoughts? |

Thoughts? I'd like to see a true custom shop, competition ready SAA for cowboy action shooting. Doesn't make much sense to buy a $2k pistol and ship it directly to a shop to clean up the action before you ever fire it. |
