I enjoy shooting the SAA handguns, maybe a throw back from the Sat. morning "B" western movies. A good condition Second Gen Colt SAA will be quite expensive, but definitely a quality piece that will appreciate. I am not impressed with the early 3rd Gen Colt SAA.

If you are a handloader, then 45 LC is the caliber to have.....if not, the ammo can get quite expensive. I know nothing about the ammo situation and prices where you live.

I have clone SAAs and a 1871 Open Top Cimarron in 44 Caliber with the Navy Colt grip frame. The cost is MUCH lower for the Uberti clones, and they are fun to shoot. As an investment, then either a Colt SAA, or a USFA SAA if you can find one.

Happy hunting and let us know what you decide on.
