SS SAA

Depends on what you consider a clone ...I guess....

but to me, the best single action revolvers out there ...and all stainless is Freedom Arms.

Here is the latest one I had made by Freedom Arms ...4 3/4" Octagon Barrel, large frame mod 83, 5 shot, in .357 mag.... In my opinion, its a fine example of their work ...waiting period on my order was about 5 months ...but I see quite a few of their guns - especially in .454 Casull around used.

No. So far as I know, Cimarrons all have the "Swiss Safe" safety. Some Ubertis do have the hammer block safety.

Used guns may have had the safeties removed and replaced with conventional SA parts.

Here are the hammers of two Ubertis, the one on the left has the hammer block safety, the one on the right has the "Swiss Safe" safety:

(The piece of metal below the firing pin is the hammer block)

By changing out the hammer for one without the hammer block, the safety is eliminated. By changing out the base pin on the other, the "Swiss Safe" safety is eliminated.

I've always just shortened the base pin to eliminate the Swiss Safety.
I appreciate ya'lls replies. I very seldom see a SS SAA at a SASS Shoot.
I think I may get one for carry.
BTW, I might have just broke a record for the most times 's' was used in a short sentence.
 
The Old Colts had the firing pin in the hammer. If you want to start with the earliest models there was a screw to hold the cylinder pin, etc. If you want something that won't rust- a nickel plate would be the correct historical choice. Since firearms are rather expensive I'd take some time on the research if you are interested in a historically correct choice. The research is half the fun. :cool:
