Colt Single Action Army Model P Third Generation .45 Colt Revolver, 7.5 Inch Cavalry Barrel, Blued and Color Case-Hardened, 2012
This Third Generation Colt Single Action Army Model P is a full-size .45 Colt revolver manufactured in 2012, featuring the classic 7.5 inch Cavalry-length barrel. It is built with a color case-hardened frame and blued steel barrel and cylinder, and it retains desirable heritage details including a blackpowder-frame configuration with a screw-retained base pin and a bullseye ejector head. The six-shot fluted cylinder, fixed sights, and factory rollmarks complete a configuration that speaks directly to the SAA tradition.
Steel construction throughout, a spurred hammer, and single-action-only operation reinforce the classic Colt layout. The revolver wears black checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colt medallions and an eagle motif. The barrel carries the left-side rollmark "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" and the top address "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG.
CO. HARTFORD CT. USA" consistent with the model and period. The factory catalog code is P2870, and the serial number matches the box.
The blackpowder-frame configuration with a base pin retaining screw and the bullseye ejector head are key callouts on this example. The tall blade front sight paired with a topstrap groove rear offers the fixed-sight profile associated with the Cavalry-length SAA. The six-round, fluted steel cylinder and robust steel barrel deliver the established Colt handling and balance for this format.
