JackSlade Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It took a few years, but I finally made a matched set of completely blued, army grip SAA clones. One is an Uberti Jesse, and the other is a Cimarron Pistoleer. I got some blued hammers from EMF to convert them back to Sam and God's intended 4 clicks.

Buckshot Bob Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I also like the army grip. Like it much better than wrapping my pinky finger under the grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I have one SAA with the 1860 grip on it. It's wicked cool, in my opinion. Of course, there are some other mods as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Look at Texas Grip, maker. He makes Grips that longer. I have a pair on Old Vequeros. Makes them feel like a Army Grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some blued hammers from EMF to convert them back to Sam and God's intended 4 clicks. Since EMF only sells Piettas, were those hammers (and I assume you got the triggers as well?) Piettas or old stock Ubertis? That would be interesting if the Pietta parts fit Ubertis. Gives another option. The old style Uberti hammers and triggers that Taylor sells are still considerably less than VTI - I don't know how they do that. On another note, that pistol box seems to have opentops and conversions in it. What do you need SAA's for?? J/K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 PLUS ONE for Abilene your betcha. When you have sets of Open Tops and Conversions, reproduction SAA become superfluous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interchangeability between the bolts, bolt spring, and hammers are finicky. So I kept the trigger and just dremeled the safety arm off of it. Also, the firing pin needs to be filed down to pass the dime/penny test or else you'll have a lot of punctured primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the hammer all the way down and the cylinder removed. The firing pin should protrude through the recoil shield taller than a dime, but not taller than a penny.

Griff Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Picking nits: If you have Army grips on your single action... it ceases to be a SAA clone. It's just another SA with Army grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
