but I took it back to Hartford and they did a good action job on it for less than 100 bucks.Īnd don't turn up your nose on the ones that have been "refinished" and "had their value ruined" in the process. To be honest, I have only 1 commeorative, the NRA Centenial one. You can ususally find these "unturned and unfired," and they tend to not be as expensive as a generic Colt for some reason. I've purchesed some for as low as $500 for a gun the works fine but has no finish left, to ones that are practially brand new for $1200.Īnother thing to look for are some of the various "commemorative" Colts. Prices for a good shooter are amazingly all over the place.

(Which makes them go for a bit more around here) Johnson is right, you can often find a used SAA on the shelf, even here in Massachusetts where they have been illegal since 1994. Chances are it will be just as good as a brand new one. That's a bummer - I see they tout it in their 2014 product video.ĭid anybody notice the guy pulling the SAA fastdraw in the video ALREADY HAD THE HAMMER COCKED BEFORE HE DREW? Not a very good way to carry a SAA. Your only bet is the secondary market, i.e. I have no idea what is going on at Colt, but SAA's and even 1911's are very difficult to find,at least as production guns from Colt. Pretty much the same with 1911's.The Custom Shop is also not taking orders for custom 1911's at this time. Other calibers have to be special ordered through the Custom ShopĪs you have probably found, the secondary market for SAA's is about dried up, at least on auction sites. Yes, prices are sky high for new 3rds.Median price on GB and other internet sites is about $1600 for a plain blue/cch SAA.Īs you know, Colt is only producing (when and if they ever actually do) 45 caliber and 357 caliber as regular production guuns. They were accepting Custom Shop orders again with a 15-24 month waiting peeriod from time of order.Absolutely absurd.īut even so, NO new SAA's have been shipped as regular production to dealers. They even suspended Custom Shop Orders, but i did hear from a fellow dealer that Colt has not shipped any new SAA's to their dealers in nearly 3 years!
