This revolver is a Third Generation Colt SAA chambered in .38-40 Win., paired with the traditional 4.75-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder. The late Third-Gen S-prefix/A-suffix serial format aligns with its 2004 production.
The factory blue and color case-hardened finish presents the classic Colt look: blued steel barrel and cylinder, with a color case-hardened frame and receiver. The frame finish and receiver finish are color case-hardened, as specified.
Sighting is true to pattern with fixed sights: a quarter-round blade up front and a square-groove rear. The barrel is roll-marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY 38-40," matching the caliber designation.
Grips are black checkered hard rubber featuring the Rampant Colt and American eagle motifs. The barrel and cylinder are steel, and the action is single-action-only, in keeping with the SAA design. Factory model code P3840 denotes the .38-40 chambering, 4.75-inch barrel, and blue/color case-hardened configuration.
