Built in the Colt Custom Shop, this revolver features forged carbon-steel construction with a polished blue finish on the 7.5" barrel and fluted six-shot cylinder, complemented by a color-case-hardened frame and hammer. The finish combination mirrors early U.S. Cavalry revolvers while benefiting from modern metallurgy and fit.
The wide-spur hammer with an integral firing pin works with traditional four-click lock-work, omitting any transfer-bar safety to preserve the original 1873 firing mechanism. Enthusiasts who value authentic Colt timing and hammer cues will appreciate this detail.
Fixed sights consist of a blade front and top-strap groove rear, exactly as specified on original service models. Two-piece black checkered composite grips provide a period-correct profile with the durability expected of a recent production gun.
The S92592A serial (S-prefix/A-suffix) confirms late Third Generation manufacture, a phase noted for limited annual output and heightened collector interest. Chambered in .45 Colt, the revolver maintains compatibility with both traditional cowboy loads and modern factory ammunition within standard pressure limits.
