The Charcoal KID, SASS# 31523 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hello; I just picked up a new SAA 3rd generation model in .44 Special made in 1982. This revolver seams to be well made excepth that there is a visual gap between the frame and the trigger gaurd where the two intersect. Is this a common problem with early 3rd generation peacemakers? And how can this defect be corrected. Anyways I would appreciate some advise on this matter and if anyone knows of a gunsmith who can help me with this defect please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 No matter the brand, there should not be a gap. First, check the screws to see if any are loose. If that's not the problem, it could be that it was disassembled at some point and not put back together correctly. Any gunsmith worth his salt should be able to correct it. I doubt it left the Colt factory like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Presuming it's a Colt, I would call the Colt Custom Shop and get their advice. In my experience they have been responsive and fairly inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
