Introduction When I first got started in Cowboy Action Shooting 15 years ago I researched the guns I would need.

The two most popular styles of single-action six-gun revolvers were, and still are, the Ruger Vaquero, and the Colt Single Action Army (SAA) and its European clones. The Schofield revolver wasn’t popular or readily available at that time, and since the Vaquero was stronger and more robust than the SAA – which was prone to breakage when used regularly for competition – I decided to go with the Vaqueros. If you read my articles you know that I am a Ruger single-action man with Vaqueros, Blackhawks, and Single Sixes in my collection, and I have many articles on how to modify and improve the Ruger platform. Recently I’ve had a number of questions from readers of the Kitchen Table Gunsmith regarding SAA’s and their clones. Having never owned or worked on this style of revolver I decided I needed to learn more about them. At the time I was researching guns was selling the Millennium revolver for $200. This was a Colt SAA clone manufactured by of Italy imported.

Although somewhat improved, this same gun is still available today, now called the 1873 model. The price was very reasonable then, and 15-years later the price was still reasonable, so I purchased two of them in.45LC (my preferred caliber) from, an online sporting goods outlet. The price was so reasonable I could purchase two of these Italian Colt clones for about the same price as one Ruger Vaquero! Personally I had no problem purchasing an Italian clone. I have heard and read stories of the earlier clones being of poor quality, but the Italians learned quickly that if they wanted to compete in the American firearms market, and especially with the crowd, they needed to up their game. So much so that these revolvers were named “Best Gun” by SASS® in 2002 and 2008. Overall Assessment (Diagrams courtesy F.LLI PIETTA Srl) After the guns arrived I carefully examined them and gave them a thorough cleaning.

These guns are within six serial numbers of each other so from now on I will refer to them as gun #85 and gun #91. I was a little disappointed that these were not faithful reproductions of the Colt 1873 SAA. They did not have the first safety notch click when cocking the hammer because they came with a transfer-bar safety similar to a Ruger. This meant I could safely load all six chambers and not worry about having a hammer-mounted firing pin rest on a live primer. The firing pin was mounted in the frame and not on the hammer. Also, instead of having a flat hand spring like an original Colt they had a coil spring and plunger again similar to a Ruger.

I feel as though I purchased two “Col-gers” (a Colt/Ruger hybrid). Pietta made safety and reliability improvements to the old 1873 pattern by using a transfer bar and coil spring and plunger for the hand. The finish was matte blue; they feel almost like they were Parkerized. The action of each revolver, being brand new, was stiff and the triggers broke at 2.8 pounds for each gun.

However, the trigger pull was long with a lot of creep indicating that the sear ledge on the hammer was too deep. I also discovered that the hammer spring was so stiff that while speed-cocking the revolvers like I would during a cowboy match I sometimes didn’t get the hammer fully cocked so when my thumb slipped off of the hammer spur the hammer dropped into the half-cock notch.

The half-cock notch helps to prevent the dreaded “skipped round” but does cost time on the clock. A reduced power hammer spring should fix this problem. I found a couple of articles on the Internet (links below) on how to improve the action of a SAA clone, plus I have two books in my library on how to work on these revolvers, so these references were the starting point for my work. Tools and Parts Most of the tools, parts and supplies I purchased from unless otherwise noted. After purchasing the guns I purchased a set of screwdriver bits made specifically for the Colt SAA and clones, a Wolff reduced power bolt and trigger spring, and a Wolff reduced power hammer spring. The screwdriver bits will help prevent me from buggering up the screw heads when disassembling and reassembling the guns, and the reduced power springs will lighten the action and trigger pull. Many years ago I purchased the of polishing stones from.

I have used these excellent stones for many years on many guns; these are some of the best tools I own for stoning gun parts. By the way, I never replace springs until AFTER I perform polishing and function checks. I had a Ruger Vaquero that would no longer function with a reduced power trigger return spring because the trigger was rubbing against the frame. I had to open up the cutout in the frame so the trigger would function properly with the reduced power spring. I also purchased The Colt Single-Action Revolvers, A Shop Manual Volumes 1 & 2 by Jerry Kuhnhausen from MidwayUSA. I have a number of Jerry’s excellent books in my library and have found them to be a very important source of information when working on guns. Barrel and Chamber Throat Measurements I slugged the barrel and measured the chamber throats in each gun.<
