I’ve thought about this a lot. Why do I like the Colt’s? When I take guns out of the safe to go to the range I grab my Colt’s first. When I get to the range I grab my Colt’s first. I shoot the Colt’s more by far. Why? I dunno. The Colt’s SAA simply is my favorite handgun.
I’ve got Colt’s I shoot off hand, unsupported, one hand at 100 yards, they are very accurate.
The 454190 is by far shot the most, and Unique is most frequently used.
Your mileage my vary. I’d buy the Colt’s. If you don’t like it you can always sell it.
We were told years ago the Colt’s SAA was fragile. I’ve tried to break mine with constant shooting and haven’t been able to yet.
If a 3rd gen blows up on me, history hasn’t been altered. No Colt’s has ever blown up on me yet and I’ve been shooting Colt’s since the early 1980’s,
