The P1840 factory model code denotes the sought-after .45 Colt chambering paired with a 4.75" barrel and the traditional blue and color case-hardened finish. This example retains the proper factory black checkered hard-rubber "eagle" grips with Rampant Colt medallions, matching the configuration referenced by the code.
Built on a steel frame with a smokeless-frame transverse base-pin latch, this late 3rd-Generation SAA follows the classic single-action-only operation. It uses an exposed, checkered-spur hammer and a fluted six-shot steel cylinder finished in polished blue.
Sighting is true to the original pattern with a fixed blade front and a topstrap groove rear. The combination offers a clean, durable sight picture appropriate to the Single Action Army's design and intended use.
This revolver reflects Colt's late 3rd-Generation production details, including the S-prefix/A-suffix serialization style, and it comes from 2005 U.S. manufacture. The inclusion of the factory blue box with serial-matching end label and the Colt SAA manual adds completeness for owners and collectors.
