Many years ago I picked up an Italian single action clone of a SAA. I found it to have a rather rough action and I never really warmed up to it. Now I will freely admit that I am not a single action guy. While I know there are many others that like them, the grip angle on the classic SA does not fit my hand well with heavier calibers so that may have been part of my problem with that gun. I do know that the newer Italian Colt replicas seem to be much better made, but they sometimes still need to be slicked up a bit.
Several years ago I saw a NIB Colt Frontier Six Shooter at a gun store and suddenly got a burning urge to own another single action revolver and bought it on the spot. I can say that this one is everything that the old Italian copy wasn't. I was smooth right out of the box and since it is in 44WCF it is a creampuff to shoot. I found out later that it is kind of a rare bird as it has the Blackpowder style frame and the three line patent date roll mark like those made in the 1880's.
I don't have the urge to buy any more single actions, but I can say that this one is staying with me.
