You're talking an 1860, not a SAA.

I was talking a Colt SAA in 45lc. I'm assuming your Colt 45 was a 1911.

I'm cornfused.

He wants an old Colt civil war revolver, not a SAA.

I thought it was a colt SAA 44-40 that cost $19.11?

I heard that 44-40 was more common than 45LC for SAA in the old west.

How about a 44 black powder revolver with 45 LC conversion cylinder? That's got em both covered. Have a 1958 Remington around somewhere like that. The 1860s etc also you can buy conversion cylinders. Mine has 850 fps limit on ammo.

Thank you....

The Colt 1860 Army is my favorite percussion revolver.
Love its lines and balance.


Something to consider here in regards to the Colt Single Action Army and its use in the 'Old West"...

Movies and novels seem to have damn near every hero and villain armed with a Colt Single Action Army.
However...
The first shipments went to the Army. It wasn't till about 1876 that civilian sales really took off.
Many percussion revolvers were used well into the 1880s.

Also in regards to modern conversion units for percussion revolvers...
You are using a percussion revolver...it was not designed for metallic cartridge use
Loadings will be limited , which can be problematic to find on a store shelf at times.
As neat / useful as it sounds ....I have found that conversion units for Colt and Remington revolvers to be more trouble than they are worth.
I would suggest that if you want a cartridge revolver....buy a cartridge revolver.

You might as well just get an example each of the Colt 1851 Navy, the Colt 1860 Army and the Remington NMA. Tons O' Fun, and relatively cheap to buy and to shoot.

You're welcome

Can't beat a colt revolver 44, I'll take the 1860 army and then the colt 1851 navy. Both awesome guns but I'm just an old west kind of guy

One of my uncles had my grandfather's Colt SAA. 7.5" barreled 44-40

Wow, I didn't know that I could get such a cool piece of history for the price of an upper-mid tier AR.
