Hey guys.
My father is looking for a SAA revolver. He wants something nickel plated, and that looks like a "cowboy" gun. He only wants to spend about 400 dollars, and would love a .45LC, but honestly will take anything. I've been able to find him a nice SAA in .22 for around 300, but he wants me to try and find him a .45LC. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks guys! |
| Dont know how "authentic" he really needs, but new Blackhawks in .45 LC are routinely around 400- or just a little bit more. Not in stainless though. A ton of people, myself included, prefer the Blackhawk to a Vaquero due to the adjustable sights ––- you dont necesarilly have to limit yourself to just one or 2 loads |

If he plans to shoot standard (not "hot") factory loads or "Cowboy" loads (lower powered), ask your favorite dealer about 1873 revolvers from Taylors;
(scroll down for MSRP) http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/cf1873SingleAction.tpl Or Cimarron (same basic guns, better finishes = higher $); http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/ModelP/MP4505-ModelPStainless.htm# Or EMF (about the same $ as Cimarron, but different manufacturer); http://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/CHECKERED-WALNUT-GRIP-c158.htm Otherwise I'd hold out for a stainless Ruger Vaquero which can be found used in his price range with a little looking.
