Colt Single Action Army 3rd Gen 44-40 5.5" Deluxe Blued/Ivory

Colt Single Action Army 3rd Gen 44-40

The Colt Single Action Army 3rd Generation in .44-40 WCF, crafted circa 1989, is a used revolver steeped in the legacy of the American West, featuring a 5.5-inch deluxe blued barrel and factory ivory grips that evoke the elegance of a bygone era. Known as the "Peacemaker," this iconic single-action revolver pairs Colt’s timeless design with the practical .44-40 chambering, historically matched with Winchester’s 1873 rifle for ammunition compatibility. It bears smaller scratches on the left side of the frame, light pitting on the back of the grip frame, and a spot of rust atop the grip frame, offering collectors a piece of history with authentic character.

Forged with Colt’s renowned craftsmanship, this 3rd Gen SAA features a vibrant case-hardened frame contrasting the deep blued barrel, with a smooth single-action trigger and fixed sights for authentic shooting. The factory ivory grips add a luxurious feel, while the revolver’s wear—scratches likely from a screwdriver during disassembly, minor pitting, and rust. At 38 ounces and 11 inches overall, it balances heft and maneuverability, ideal for cowboy action shooting or display, with the .44-40’s versatility suiting both collectors and range enthusiasts.

This Colt SAA’s marks of service enhance its narrative, making it a compelling find for those who value authenticity over perfection. The scratches, pitting, and rust do not detract from its mechanical integrity but reflect a life of handling in the spirit of the Old West. As a no-frills used firearm, this 1989 revolver stands as a testament to Colt’s enduring legacy, ready for a new chapter in a collector’s hands or on the firing line.
