I know the .357 Magnum can safely fire .38 special, so would this combination safely work? I'm asking because H&R ammo is expensive and I have a box of ".32 COLT NP" with no gun to shoot it from. What is the "NP"?


i'm thinking about buying a lever gun for use on indiana whitetail deer, but i cant decide on the caliber. right now i'm leaning more towards the .45 colt, but only one shop in the area carries this ammo. of the three what would you choose?

bear in mind i also want to pick up a matching single action revolver sometime in the future.


my father died and i want to sell his gun. it is in perfect condition and comes in the original box and has only been used a couple of times.


I've read that fanning, or rapid firing a single action revolver like they did in the westerns is actually a product of Hollywood. To try that in real life, especially with a Colt .45 would be very hard to hit the target, and would also be highly dangerous. Indeed, the shooter could accidentally shoot himself.

Have any single-action buffs ever attempted this?
These are all excellent answers, and it's going to be even harder for me to pick a best one, then it would be for me to learn to shoot like that.


Now its kinda of weird. These lyrics are based on the perspective of a bullet PLEASE give me advice and tips thank you

N**ga manufactured 2 inches in size
We thrusted in the solitude of an internal organ
Young mu****uckers grasp a life of importance
Without care, well to a certain extent
Represent all bi**hes living in a Colt 45.
When young n**gas ride
We observe blood
And we lay in a flood of existence
And persistent we stay steady
We shipped in cartilages at a time
Created with the ability to decease
Ni**az repeat
Actions as they misuse me
No I ain't a single child
In the neighborhood we ain't revalent
Only as I imagine as heaven repents
The ammunition residence
Ok the cuss words i know lol. But besides that just look past that


Of the older style Single Action revolvers that are out today, what are some good ones? Good being defined as good quality and fun to shoot.

Is a .45 Long Colt good to shoot in them?

Self-defense is not an issue here. Simply looking for something fun.


I have a Colt single action army I want to sell. Do I have to have FFL dealer ship and recieve it if I find a buyer?



That censored word is co-cked
Thanks for the info everyone. So with the 1911's safeties engaged, there is no chance of accidental discharge from something jarring the hammer forward? I mean are the safeties for the trigger only or do they prevent any discharge of the weapon? thanks again


?


well that's what my friends say
but its such a old gun....


I have always wanted a six shooter. I am looking to get a nice one that I will be proud of and able to use for years before I am old and pass it along to my future kids or grandkids (when they are old enough obviously). I know that Colt is the classic brand but I am just curious what else would make a great deal for not a huge price. Uberti has some really nice looking single action western revolvers around the $500 range and that is what I was thinking about. It's hard to know without having shot one, if it's the right one! I'm looking for a model similar to the Uberti Single Action Cattleman or a Ruger Vaquero and I'd like to stick with a .45. Any suggestions?


Where on the internet can I find a list of serial numbers for Colt artillery single action revolvers that were issued to the Rough Riders?


Do you think of a 1911 or a Colt revolver?I think of a Colt single action 45LC.When someone says they have a Colt 45.
Well Boker,I guess that a lot of people in the gun world don't know what they are talking about, or printing in there buyers guides.I have a stack of gun buyer guides and the first 3 I looked at they say 45LC.But I did look at a shooters bible and it did say 45 colt.I think that neither 45LC or Colt 45 are wrong.And I am not going to say that someone knows nothing about guns just because they use a different but correct term.


I have a question, if it is possible, where can you find a and how much would it be for a 9mm broomhandle mauser, and a .45 single action army also called a colt piecemaker?

thanks jak


For anyone unfamiliar with firearms: single action revolvers require you to insert each round one at a time (imagine six rounds in your pocket and reloading). Not quick right??

So a mall ninja told me a "single action speed loader" is available. Just a plastic/metallic tube with a snap on/off cap. Hold the tube to the revolver and turn cylinder. Works like a pixie stick to those without imagination. Anyone know where to buy such a thing or ideas to make one?? Has to be long enough to carry six rounds of .45 Colt. Thinking pyrex glass tube with a rubber cap if I can't find anything.

Thanks peeps


Hi, I'm really new to the world of firearms, so be nice to me. :)
I recently talked to a friend about his gun collection and it really fascinated me. I'm thinking of doing research on different guns for a while and then possibly getting into collecting them.
My question is about antique firearms in general. I was wondering if it's even possible to buy ammo for them. For example, would I be able to find ammo for an 1883 Colt Single Action Army?
I know this question probably seems retarded to a lot of people, but like I said, I'm new to this. Which is why I'm asking questions. :)
Any collecting advice in general is also very welcome.

(sorry about the obscure category placement. I couldn't find a more appropriate answers category.)


I have a Colt Custom Shop Single Action Army, fully blued with Colt Custom wood grips with gold logo. All tags and original box. Never turned. Perfect condition. I am wondering what this might raise if sold?


I would like to get a ACCURATE .22 revolver single action that i can plink with but impress my friends too..I like the colt .22 frontier scout but i dont know if colt still makes them and if i can find one...my secong choice was the ruger .22 bearcat... well if you can help me find a good pistol, where to buy it at and at a fair price that would be awesome


I need the battles or wars in which the Colt Single Action Army handgun a.k.a. colt peacemaker, was used. I could also use some background on that.
Please stay on topic, that means that you don't get to say anything else from what i asked. Professional help would be great.
Thanks in advance


For the best rifle, I will go with the M1 Garand.

For the best handgun, I will go with the Colt Single Action Army.


i believe my father paid 2500.00 for it and was wondering the value


I read an article recently that the legendary 1911 Colt automatic pistol .45 cal does not have a single, documented report of it ever having killed an enemy in combat. I find that very hard to believe. Any vets care to comment? P.S. I'm talking about military action, not it being used as a police sidearm, home defense, or "capping someone in the hood"


I am looking to buy a Colt single action army in .45

The barrel lengths come in 4.75", 5.50", and 7.50"

What noticeable differences will the lengths of the barrels have in terms of performance? Accuracy, effective range, power, recoil, etc..


What is the best single action revolver in .45 money can buy? Also, was Colt the first to produce the single action revolver? If not, then who made it first?





it is a colt single action frontier scout -nickle plated,Kseries with wooden handle.very good condition!!


(1) If a company sells double stacked magazines for 1911 pistols, is that still a real 1911 design or is it another kind of gun since 1911 pistols were originally designed single stacked?

(2) Are there any double action and double stacked 1911 (.45) pistols out there? (any links would be helpful)

(3) What are the best 1911 (.45) brands and models available today? (I'm leaning toward Kimber but some say Colt Gold Cup is better)


its about 4 inchs high


I went to one of the training....classes, I'd guess you'd call them, and the trainer person, you know, the person who helps you decide whether your better with semi autos or revolvers and whatnot, says I'm pretty well equally good with either one. Anyway, my grandfather and everyone since him in my family has used a revolver, and I'd like to keep the tradition alive, plus I think they look pretty cool too, the make and all. I know very little about guns, and even less about revolvers, although I do like the look and make of the Colt Single Action Army, although it doesn't have to be that gun exactly. I'm not very strong, I've never worked out in my life, except for helping friends and family move furniture and boxes, which isn't much, to give you an idea of how strong I am, thus how much I can handle. I will be using this gun for my personal protection, and then if any females find me eye catching, later on my family when I have one. My question is, which revolver should be my first?


Is the Colt Cowboy SAA still sold? The only things I can find are the Vaquero and the US Arms SAA. I like authenticity, and I want a single action, but nobody sells the Colt. How are the other revolvers?


Is it possible to use a moon clip for any of the Colt Single Action clones (Vaquero, Uberti, Cowboy, etc.)? I thought the original Colt SAA was a side-loader.
What about the SAA Ocelot uses in MGS3?


Do you own a handgun?

What do you prefer, revolver or a semi- auto pistol?

What caliber(s)?

Myself, I have a Glock G23 (.40 cal) for ccw, a Glock G35 (.40 cal.) for duty, and a single action revolver (.45 cal. Long Colt) for carry in the woods.

Hubby is trying to help settle his father's estate (we lost Dad in August). We're looking for fair prices to offer his mother. Hubby needs the current "Blue Book" values for the following guns:

1. Browning Citori mid-70s vintage, 30", full and full fixed chokes, 12 guage (probably 3"), very good condition, with the exception of one hunting trip has "lived" on the trap range

2. Colt Frontier Scout (single action, .22 LR) sold as Arizona Centennial Commerative new in presentation case, never fired, action never cycled.

3. Ruger Mark I Target Pistol. Barrel length 6 7/8" 22 LR, adjustable sights, condition very good, has Ruger wood grips, pistol never fired off of target range.

We would appreciate any link to a Colt Firearm collectors' group that is currently active.

Many thanks!





I've been saving my allowance for 2 years and have $3000 dollars now. So if you have any other suggestions under that price then let me know that too.


I have asked this question before but no one seems to know.

I have spent so much time looking for the answer online I am ashamed to post it online.

I am trying to find the trigger pull for a standered factory Double-Action Colt Annaconda.

I would like to know what the weight of the trigger pull is in Double-Action mode (Pulling the trigger to fire) and what it is in Single-Action mode (Pulling the trigger to fire with hammer already up)

I would like the answer in pounds.

I do not have a device to measure it and it has been driving me crazy.

Also, I have noticed in a few gun articles that writers will sometimes refer to a weapon's trigger pull as "smooth".

What does that mean?

If two different weapons are the exact same weight, size, caliber, action, with the exact same trigger pull weight would the feel of pulling the trigger be different for one than the other?

If it is different is it better to be smooth, or not.

What does "a smooth trigger pull" mean?
Dj if you claim that you can find it out online why didn't you furnish an answer?

I will tell you why.

I have looked through several search engines for over 2 and a half hours and I can't find it.

And you couldn't either DJ!

Thanks for the other info though.

It was fairly helpful.


I have a Colt Annaconda and I am trying to figure out what the trigger pull is.

I do not have a device to measure it, and I have spent more time than I should trying to look it up online.

Does anyone know.

What is it in double action, and single action mode.

I am most interested in double action mode.

Please state your answer in pounds.
Once again I will state that I am looking for the trigger pull in pounds.

Not the weight of the firearm.


In a right handed world It seems strange. The most popular revolvers from the percussion era Walkers throught the 1873 SAA Have ergonomics that suit a lefty? The loading gates & cap loading areas on these guns require a hand switch to load for most. Why does every one still make copies with the same "error."


I have a colt single action army .45 #SA16566
it's not SAA
SAM YOUR ON THE BALL
FEED IT CAKE OK IT LIKES CAKE
OK IM STUPID FOR HAVING A GUN NOT!


reply to skypilot1931@yahoo.com single six colt style/i woud like as much info as i can get on this firearm








I just purchased a brand new 1873 Uberti Millenium pistol. It is a single action, .45 long Colt, 4 3/4 inch barrel. Any ideas for a good holster? Thank You.


In the movie "For a few Dollars More" Lee Van Cleef's character "Colonel Mortimer" uses a Colt Single Action Army, which he attaches a buttstock too. who made this buttstock, and when were they made? also are they still made today?





I personally think that the best firearm of World War Two is the M1 garand. It is a highly accurate and reliable weapon with tons of stopping power. It was placed into the hands of thousands of American troops as a replacement to single-shot bolt action rifles. Its 8 round semi-automatic capability made it a highly revered and respected rifle. It was the perfect alternative to the plentiful German Kars and the few Gewehrs that they had. The only shortcoming of the rifle was its unreloadable cartridge. The weapon could only be reloaded if all 8 rounds were fired. When the clip was discharged it would make an unmistakeable 'pink' sound that triggered many enemies to attack. This could also be used to draw enemies into a small scale ambush. Overall I think the M1 garand was the best firearm of World War Two although many other guns including the Thompson, Browning .30 and .50 calibre machine guns, Browing Auto. Rifle, Grease Gun (M1A3), carbine, and the Colt .45 automatic.


can u please send me a link or tell me a good place where i can get one that is close to los angeles
