Ocoee Red #31751 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I far as I know they still do make a SAA but only in 45 I believe. See this link from the Colt forum. https://www.coltforum.com/threads/what-about-a-standard-manufacturing-single-action.407610/ Quote
Warden Callaway Posted March 10 Posted March 10 They are beautiful guns but not exactly a Colt SAA. They are a little bigger like Uberti. Seen this one east of Knoxville at Bud's Guns. 1 Quote
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Normally, this is where I'd jump in as say "No, Standard Mfg" does not make a SAA. Only Colt makes The SAA. But, not gonna do that. Standard Mfg does make a Replica, but their "replica" is actually a replica of a USFA, which is a replica of Uberti, which is only a replica of Colt in passing. Ain't guns Fun!!! 3 2 Quote

JackSlade Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I need to see comparison photos with measurements, because I've always known that rugers are GIANT compared to a proper peacemaker, but I've never heard that ubertis are bigger than colts before. 1 Quote
Warden Callaway Posted March 11 Posted March 11 From Jerry Kuhnhausen's shop manual. And its be stated a number of times in various places. 1 1 Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Very quick measurement on cylinder diameter: Colt 1.651" Uberti 1.667" (typing while Warden posted the kuhnhausen page) Quote
Buckshot Bob Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Pietta is pretty close to a Colt . I always heard the rumor that Standard Manufacturing bought out the tooling from USFA when they went out of business. So that’s why they build the Uberti size pistol Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) .015 is not a lot no wonder I never noticed a difference! Edited March 11 by Rye Miles #13621 1 Quote

Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I used to live in CT, and owned many USFA guns, visited the USFA factory many times in the original Colt building as well as there final new factory. I believe it's true that Standard Manufacturing did buy most of the machinery from USFA. USFA built a replica of the Colt SAA, Standard Manufacturing is building replicas as well. The Standard SAA are equal to or even better than the ones that USFA build in the last years. BTW I was able to visit Colt's factory where they build SAA and was able to purchase a number of guns from the factory through a SASS shooter that worked in the Colt Custom shop. Quality Never Goes Out Of Style! TB 1 Quote

Quality Never Goes Out Of Style! TB Ellie's dad worked there in the Colt building with the blue dome and gold stars. Late 40s IIRC. We,be got a few of his pay stubs. All hand written! Don't remember the pay off hand. Quote
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 One of my match Piettas has a second gen Colt cylinder in it and it runs perfectly. The original cylinder had poorly machined bolt slots. 1 Quote
