	Colt Single Action Army .32-20
		By the early 1880s, the Winchester Model 1873 rifle and the Colt Single Action Army Revolver represented the state-of-the-art personal arms of the western frontier and elsewhere.
		The trigger pull, typical of first generation SAAs, was quite heavy until Bates put a leather shim between spring and frame, reducing the trigger release and creating the perfect imitation of a custom tuned Colt.
		Given the action set-up for a smooth, surprise release, the Single Action Army hangs steady on target as the hammer describes its long arc toward ignition.

		The Colt Single Action Army handgun, also known as the Colt Peacemaker or Single Action Army, is a single action revolver safely holding 5 rounds with an empty chamber under the hammer, but holding 6 rounds of ammunition if it is to be fired immediately.
		The original, and usually most common, caliber for the Colt Single Action Army (SAA) was.45 Colt, often called the.45 Long Colt (.45LC) and not to be confused with the shorter.45 ACP cartridge used in automatic pistols.
		In the popular sport of cowboy action shooting, even if one has a modern revolver, like the Ruger Vaquero, with the transfer bar safety (in which it is perfectly safe to load and carry six in the cylinder), they are only allowed to load five and keep the hammer on an empty chamber.

	The Colt Single Action Army
		The Colt Single Action Army, the Model P, began life in 1873 with the first sixgun to be chambered in.45 Colt.
		With the advent of the Third Generation Single Action, the design of the cylinder hand and bushing were changed to cut costs, the hammer was given a flat-looking unsightly profile and some of the last ones were really slopped through as Colt flooded the market with every possible variation.
		To load such single actions, of which the Colt is the prime example, place the hammer on half cock, open the loading gate, load the first round, skip one chamber and then load four more.

		This is pretty common as this had to be taken out to remove and clean the cylinder and bore...so it got taken out a lot and at some point, it had to be replaced.
		The rest of the screws are original which is nice considering most of these Single Actions get their screws changed to improve the appearance of the gun.
		Action works flawlessly with all 4 clicks present when the hammer is cocked.

		Designed and adopted by the United States army in 1873, the Colt Single Action Army is a revolver most commonly associated with the Wild West of the United States.
		The Single Action in it's name refers to the method of operation - the hammer must be cocked manually before every shot, and the trigger is pulled to release the hammer and fire the bullet.
		The Single Action Army is also notable for having a relatively difficult method of reloading - each shell casing must be manually ejected and reloaded with new bullets.

		In Langle de Cary’s place Joffre promoted Henri-Philippe Petain, a talented officer whose progress through the French army had been slowed on account of his defiance of the prevailing motto of ‘attack at all costs’, believing that this was a recipe for disaster, defensive technology being so much greater advanced than offensive technology.
		By this stage the German Chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, was scathing in his condemnation of Falkenhayn’s lack of success in Verdun, which was proving as costly in terms of manpower to Germany as it was to France.
		Falkenhayn was consequently dismissed by the Kaiser and dispatched to the Transylvanian Front on 29 August to command Ninth Army.
