Colt Single Action Army Third Generation .45 Colt, 4.75 in Barrel, Blued and Color Case-Hardened, 2009
This Third-Generation Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt pairs the classic 4.75 in barrel length with a color case-hardened frame and high-polish blued steel. Made in 2009 and kept in excellent overall condition, it features the desirable black American Eagle grips, correct Hartford and patent-date rollmarks, and Colt VP proof. It is a clean, well-presented example of the iconic SAA configuration with fixed sights and a six-shot fluted cylinder.
The revolver retains a high-polish blued barrel, cylinder, ejector housing, and grip frame contrasted by a color case-hardened frame. It includes factory-correct details such as the wide-spur knurled hammer with polished sides, transverse base-pin latch, and fixed sight arrangement with a tapered blade front and topstrap notch rear. The markings are crisp, including the Hartford barrel address, 1871/72/75 patent-date frame rollmarks, Colt VP triangle proof on the trigger guard, and assembler's stamp "3."
Built on a carbon-steel frame with a carbon-steel barrel and cylinder, this single-action-only SAA offers the traditional handling and configuration expected of a Third-Generation gun. The six-shot fluted cylinder and .45 Colt chambering reflect the standard, time-tested setup for this model and era.
Factory black checkered hard-rubber American Eagle grips with Rampant Colt medallions and an eagle-and-shield motif complete the period-correct appearance. The revolver was manufactured in the United States and presents as a strong example of the Third-Generation series with its classic "Civilian" 4.75 in barrel length.
