Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Colt SAA suitable for Cowboy Action Shooting competitions?

Absolutely. The Colt Single Action Army is one of the most widely used revolvers in Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) competition. Its single action mechanism, .45 Long Colt chambering, and 6-round capacity meet the requirements for most CAS categories. The 7.5-inch barrel variant is a popular choice for the "Frontier Cartridge" and traditional main match divisions, offering excellent pointability and balance.

What ammunition is compatible with this revolver?

This Colt SAA is chambered in .45 Long Colt (also written as .45 LC or .45 Colt). It is compatible with standard factory-loaded .45 Long Colt ammunition from major manufacturers. For Cowboy Action Shooting, lighter lead bullet loads are recommended. Avoid using .454 Casull or other magnum-style cartridges, as the SAA is not rated for those pressure levels.

How does the single action mechanism work on the Colt SAA?

With a single action revolver like the Colt SAA, the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot — pulling the trigger alone will not fire the gun. This design produces an exceptionally light and crisp trigger pull, which many shooters prefer for accuracy. The cylinder also rotates and indexes as you cock the hammer, making the operation intuitive once you develop the rhythm. The SAA also features a traditional half-cock loading position, allowing you to safely load and unload one chamber at a time through the loading gate.
