Funny thing about the SAA, it has one of the nicest trigger pulls I have seen.
Come on Todd, You know this stuff. First Generation went up to the cessation of production at the begining of WW2. 2nd Gen began, IIRC, 1957.

I believe any American gun that somebody thinks is worthy of sharing pictures with others who appreciate these old beauties, should present them in an artistic manner and not on a tailgate or laid out across the powerplant of a Maserati or Porsche.

No tailgate. No Porsche or Maserati.

I prefer to think of it as Great Plains Naturalism. All the great artiste’ s were masters of naturalism.

I believe it is bull.

Maybe I should clarify. Not the photo or the gun. Both are beautiful. I was referring to the photo background which is bull or most likely steer. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

Yes, you're right. It's a 1st gen, but smokeless frame, which started in 1896, IIRC.
I'm certainly no expert, and am constantly learning, and sometimes relearning stuff I knew and forgot.
I may have known this, but don't remember ; )

Here's the Colt SAA, (1898) and the little S&W M 1 1/2 (3rd issue 1890)
Oh, and I had to throw in a couple of old Parkers, because this is the General Parker Discussions Forum ; )
