Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I just purchased a NIB Colt SAA with a serial number SXXXXXA stamped in the bottom of the frame just ahead of the trigger guard assembly. I went to the Colt web page to try to find the year of manufacture and it comes back as unable to find. Just out of curiosity, I instead typed XXXXXSA and the web site found the year it was built. The serial number on the gun IS stamped SXXXXXA NOT XXXXXSA. I don't get it. Any Colt experts out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks Cholla. Those numbers are up to 2012. Mine is aS87XXXA, and I suspect it was built after 2014, but I'll keep looking. I think you pointed me in the right direction. It's no big deal but I just like to have as much info as possible for my records. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Colt's online serial number database has remained incomplete for the past 10-15 years or so it has existed. Half the time I get a result and half the time I don't. And then sometimes I get a result but it's clearly wrong. Just more of Colt's dysfunctional nature, I guess.
