My gun interests are pretty diverse, and one of my long-standing wish list items has been a Colt SAA. I finally got one recently and I'm so happy! :biggrin1:
Not much in common with today's Kahrs, except that it was the SD gun back in its day, when one might have encountered cattle rustlers, hostile injuns, and gangs of outlaws. Today it's a beautiful anachronism that still remains a wonderful example of the gun-maker's craft in blued steel.
I previewed a picture of it in another thread recently, but here's a better one. It's a .45 with 5 1/2" barrel, wearing gunleather from El Paso Saddlery.
The new guy also has a nice little brother, a Colt Frontier Scout in .22LR and .22WMR. The Scout is actually 7/8 the size of the SAA (not obvious in the picture) and at least 7/8 of the fun, but at 1/20 the ammo cost.
