USFA 1995 Colt .45 4 3/4" Single Action Army Revolver & Box
Our Assessment: Colt's Model 1873, the Single Action Army, is the "gun that won the west", perhaps the most iconic handgun of all time. For nearly 150 years, the gun has been produced in a variety of configurations, finishes and calibers. This revolver is the absolute closest to a Colt you can get without a pony on the side. This USFA Rodeo has a matte blue finish and comes with just about everything it did brand new. The revolver has a 4 3/4" barrel and is chambered for the classic .45 Colt cartridge. It is in excellent condition, appearing to have more time in than out of its included original box. This revolver will make a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
