Not very much like a Colt SA, more of a modern version on steroids: BFR 5" in 454 Casull w/ UltraDot 30. Since I hunt with it, it's all good! Miles ahead of any Ruger in terms of action, trigger pull and accuracy.
That's to bad really . Most BP revolvers also have fixed sights. Yes, I've had the barrels turned when necessary, and yes, I have had to file the front sight to bring up POI. And yes, they are setup to shoot a given load. But now they shoot straight and are wonderful to shoot. Also, my Vaqueros have also had action jobs which puts the icing on the cake so to speak. Nothing wrong with fixed sights if you are willing to make 'changes' if necessary. And once set, they are 'set'. So looks good, shoots good ... what else is there? BTW, no scope or rubber grips will ever grace my SAs.... Just me though .I will not buy a single action revolver with fixed sights,

Always felt the Ruger was the gun Colt would have made, if only they'd known how...
Yes I'm aware they can be fired DA but they're not set up to be comfortably cocked SA
I make exceptions when it comes to black powder revolvers, but for a single action centerfire revolver I can't accept fixed sights.That's to bad really . Most BP revolvers also have fixed sights.

Several generations of target shooters managed it before the autos took over.
