Description
Some guns are just guns. Others carry a legacy. This Colt Single Action Army (SAA) Sheriff is firmly in the second camp.
Wrapped in a brilliant polished nickel finish and dressed with fine engraving and handsome wood grips, it’s got a presence that commands attention without saying a word. But here’s the twist—it’s not just pretty. Chambered in the ever-reliable .44-40 Winchester and paired with an extra .44 Magnum cylinder, this SAA Sheriff balances classic charm with practical versatility.
And then there’s the paper trail.
This exact revolver—yes, this one—earned a spot in the revered Colt books authored by Don Wilkerson. That kind of mention? It doesn’t happen by accident. It means the gun isn’t just collectible; it’s documented, recognized, and respected. Collectors know the difference. A gun in a book is a gun with a story. It’s one thing to have a beautiful Colt—it’s another to have one that’s literally in the history books.
Of course, all the right details are still here: the original box, the extra cylinder, the paperwork. That stuff matters, especially if you’re a collector who knows the value of completeness. It’s like finding a vintage Rolex with the box and papers—clean provenance always sweetens the deal.
Bottom line? This isn’t just a Colt—it’s a time capsule, a conversation starter, and a statement piece. Whether you’re adding to a serious collection or just happen to appreciate history that fits in the palm of your hand, this Colt SAA Sheriff brings a whole lot more to the table than most ever will.
