Description
Some revolvers wear their history. Others wear their personality. This Colt Single Action Army Birdshead manages both with an effortless kind of confidence. Chambered in .45 Colt and finished in bright nickel, it captures the soul of the Old West while adding a dash of Colt Custom Shop refinement that makes it genuinely stand apart.
At first glance, it’s that birdshead grip that grabs your attention—and rightfully so. Carved from a single piece of buffalo horn, it’s smooth, dark, and organic, fitting the hand with a subtle curve that feels as natural as a handshake. The grip’s lines flow into the frame seamlessly, blending form and function in a way few modern revolvers manage. It’s not just a styling choice—it’s craftsmanship you can feel.
This particular example sports a 4-inch barrel, no ejector rod, and that unmistakable Colt balance that keeps it lively in hand but steady on target. Every detail, from the crisp cylinder lockup to the gleam of the nickel, tells you this was a revolver built to be admired as much as fired.
It comes complete with its original Colt blue box, factory paperwork, and safety tag—the kind of completeness collectors crave. But more than that, it comes with attitude. A little defiant. A little refined. The sort of revolver that looks equally at home in a display case or on a velvet-lined holster.
If you appreciate the blend of Western heritage and custom-shop individuality, this Colt SAA Birdshead isn’t just a six-shooter—it’s a statement piece with a story to tell.
