What's Included
- Colt Single Action Army Second Generation .44 Special revolver with 7.5-inch barrel
Manufactured in 1966, this post‑war Second Generation SAA aligns with the SA-suffix serial range for that era. Chambered in .44 Special, it represents a comparatively scarce offering within Second Generation production, enhancing its appeal to those seeking specific calibers from this period.
The revolver is built on the standard SAA frame with a spring‑loaded base‑pin latch and a six-shot fluted cylinder. It operates in single-action only, delivering the classic handling and mechanical layout associated with Colt’s Single Action Army.
It wears a 7.5-inch "Cavalry length" barrel with a full-length ejector housing and a round "bullseye" ejector rod head. Sighting is traditional and robust, with a fixed tall blade up front and an integral topstrap groove/notch at the rear.
Construction is all steel, with a blued barrel and cylinder and a color case-hardened frame. The two-piece black checkered hard-rubber grips carry the Rampant Colt oval. Barrel markings include the model/caliber rollmark and maker/address stamp, consistent with factory presentation for this configuration.
