Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just a point if information, no dog in this fight, Standard Manufacturing is taking orders for their new SAA. TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
357wheelgunner Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Good looking guns, heck of a price for a single action wheelgun that does not even have a rampant colt on the side! JMHO, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 My first thought is for $1895 I can buy a nice used Colt. I assume they are made in the USA but I can't find anything that says for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Sounds nice, like the now defunct USFA. I'd like to run one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Besides the price, I don't see any choices besides barrel length. I don't see the caliber mentioned either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stopsign32v Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It would take a moron to buy one of those over a Colt. The way I see it is you have 2 options. $500 Uberti/Pietta $2,000 Colt Anything else just doesn't make sense IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They will sell some. The guns had better be perfect or they will not sell many. I think I will stick with my old Ubertis. If I have to replace them I will step up to Pietta, unless their lawyers figure a way to mess them up, too. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still sell plenty to people who 1) don't know any better, and 2) those that were alway irked that they couldn't safely load 6. To win back the CAS community, they need a couple of top shooters demonstrate that they are capable of being competitive and dependable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They had these pistols at the SHOT show in 2016. Seemed rough at the time but maybe the production ones are better. All parts US made on the ones I saw and handled at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Let's see here. In one hand, a Standard Manufacturing Replicant in .45. In the other hand, 3, yes that's 3 Pietta GWs. That Standard Manufacturing item makes no economic sense at all. IIRC, Standard bought USFA Tooling. Makes me wonder if their (Standard) guns will be built to Uberti specs?? I don't actually think they can amortize their start up costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California has a DOJ roster, but all single actions are exempt from the roster. Actually there is one single action that is not legal here. It's the BFR in 45 because it also fires a 410. I'm not entirely certain as to the reasoning behind it. I guess they consider it a shotgun with a barrel too short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 If any of you are familiar with CT Shotgun this is the same company, very high end firearms, I'm sure their quality should be right at the top, let's see when someone reports back after owning one. I owned a number of USFA guns, excellent quality but they did not have the Colt on them. TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberti no longer has the traditional 1873 action of 4 clicks. If you still want that you will be forced to buy a Pietta. Now, not all Piettas are traditional either but some are. No current Ubertis are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossy Pops Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 One thing I'm seeing on the workmanship of these new SAA's is the way the screw heads align. If that is typical of their builds, they are probably paying attention to the details of the rest of the gun better than most do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 In the new Uberti's they have a safety built in the hammer. The firing pin doesn't extend unless the trigger is pulled. This eliminates the first "safety click". I have one and it works fine! It has 3 clicks, I'm not losing any sleep over it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the four clicks that’s worrisome currently, though I’m sure it’s an issue to purists. The big issues is the amount of failure to fire that’s being reported by those that have them. That’s a big issue for sass but an even bigger one for those using them for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB I believe the correlation is in the news that SM bought up the old USFA machinery, which built their single actions based on Uberti specs. 5 minutes ago, Yul Lose said: They consider it a sawed off shotgun just like derringers in .45 Colt/.410. Well that makes perfect sense. To the knuckleheads in Sacramento that know nothing about guns anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
