Our Assessment: This Colt Single Action Army revolver is a classic representation of America’s frontier heritage, chambered in the versatile .32-20 W.C.F. and produced in 1911—right in the golden era of Colt revolver production. While it has been refinished, the nickel plating presents very well and the custom grips with a hand-carved steer motif add a distinct character to this storied six-shooter.

Colt’s Single Action Army revolvers are iconic for their role in the American West and military service, and remain among the most desirable collector handguns. The 5 ½” barrel length offers a perfect balance of portability and accuracy, and the .32-20 chambering is a fine choice for target shooting or small game use. This example retains strong mechanical function and has a bright bore with sharp rifling, which is especially attractive in a revolver of this age.

Whether you are a Colt collector, cowboy action shooter, or fan of Western heritage, this Single Action Army has eye-catching appeal and mechanical integrity. Please see our high quality photos and good luck on your bid! -M.C.
