Tanaka Colt Single Action Army 2nd Generation 5-1/2 inch Pegasas 2 Gas Revolver (Nickel Finish)

About Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, also known as the "Peacemaker," is a legendary single-action revolver that was first introduced in 1873 by Colt's Manufacturing Company. It became one of the most iconic handguns of the American Old West and played a significant role in military, law enforcement, and civilian use during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chambered initially in .45 Colt, the SAA was also produced in other calibers such as .44-40 Winchester and .38-40 to provide compatibility with popular rifle cartridges of the time. The revolver features a six-round cylinder, a solid frame, and a distinctive loading gate on the right side for inserting cartridges one at a time. As a single-action revolver, the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot, which rotates the cylinder and aligns a fresh round with the barrel. The Colt SAA gained widespread fame due to its reliability, robust construction, and association with cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen of the Wild West. It was adopted by the U.S. Army as its standard-issue sidearm until it was gradually replaced by double-action revolvers in the 1890s. Despite this, the SAA remained popular among civilians and saw continued use in various roles, including as a sidearm for ranchers and frontiersmen. Over the years, the Colt Single Action Army has been reproduced by various manufacturers and remains a sought-after firearm among collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Western history. Its timeless design and historical significance have cemented its place as one of the most recognizable and revered revolvers in firearms history.
