Attended EOT this year, my first EOT ever. One of the sponsors was EMF. They donated and gave away several G.W. 2s as door prizes. The amazing thing is, I won one!!!! As a show of appreciation they ask me to fill out a post card with a few words of thanks. That didn't seem enough. I have now had the gun for several months and have loaned it out at a couple of shoots. The cowboys that borrowed it, loved it. I have now cleaned it twice. The last cleaning I disassembled the gun completely. This gun is a well made gun! It has all the mods that make the old design work. Coil hand spring, Hardened bushing in the recoil shield, separate hardened cam on the hammer, that appears to be replaceable (should that ever be required), the cylinder pin is also the type that is made to stay stationary and not turn in the frame, even has a easily removable loading gate. The gun remains true to the original design in that it has no transfer bar or internal safety and uses the firing pin in the hammer with 4 clicks. It uses the tried and true extended cylinder pin that can be placed in the safe position. All of the internal parts appear to be made to very close tolerances and have been timed/tuned to work very well right out of the box. Is the finish of the machined parts up to the standard of a real Colt or the Standard Manufactured SAA? No. (It has machine marks on the frame behind the loading gate and on the recoil shield where it meets the cylinder.) Nothing that effects the function, the overall finish is beautiful! In all the aspects that make a gun run, and at a fraction of the price, it is well worth the money! I would highly recommend this gun to anyone...new to the sport or not! Thank You E.M.F. for your sponsorship of this game! My 2 cents, Asa Smith
