In 1873, Colt’s single-action Army (SAA) revolver became the Army’s standard sidearm, so cavalry troopers were armed with these new revolvers. Lawmen and outlaws adopt the handy new 6-shooter, earning the nickname “Peacemaker.”
The single-action Army was most widely produced with a color case-hardened frame and blued barrel. However, a nickel-plated version was issued to Indian scouts. The bright charcoal blue finish was available from the factory. But with years of use, these old 6-guns took on a well-handled soft gray patina. All of these classic finishes are available in the 1873 Cattleman.
