I heard you guys know whats on the up and up when it comes to old time sixshooters and would be able to get me some answers. I have been reading the posts and there is definitely some knowledge here!
I am looking to buy a Colt SAA Copy. I had a Colt about 25 years ago, but do not want to pay that kind of money. I just want a good holster gun/shooter with some wear, not a new gun at a new gun price.
I want a non standard barrel length because the standard ones are either too long or too short. The standard grip is too short so I would like it to have an 1860 Army Model grip in 45 Colt/45 acp. It has to be the same size as an original Colt, so no oversized Rugers and no Italian Clones. I have seen too much breakage with them while my Colt kept going. This gun will emulate the Colt of my lost youth.
Here is the list for quick reference:
6" to 6 1/2" barrel.
M1860 Army grip.
45 Colt and 45 ACP.
Walnut grips
Fixed sights
No Italian clones or Rugers
A vintage Tom Threepersons style holster by Heiser, Lawrence or SD Meyers.
Where is a good place to find this? What are my choices for manufacturers?What would a setup like this cost?
If no one can give me any answers, at least point me to where I can get some.
Thanks, Charles
