I've been trying to decipher what's going on with the new Colt single actions.
Do the new ones have the cylinder bushing again?
Seems I've read the fit and finish on the new production SAA and New Frontiers is back up to snuff too.
If anybody has first hand accounts about these guns and or can direct me to links to articles or posts from reliable sources I'd be grateful.
Maybe Mr. Taffin will chime in...
Thanks!

I've not seen a current production yet that is as nice as the USFA guns were. I've seen some that were pretty close but others that fell short. That's probably the biggest problem I have with them is they're inconsistent. That and the cylinder throats are still way big in the 45 Colt. I keep thinking that one day i'll stumble across a early 2nd gen that I can afford and have a new cylinder with proper chamber dimensions fitted.

The guns of the last several years are the best they've ever been. Since USFA stopped making them, they're also as tough to get as they've ever been. Order a new one and expect to wait 3yrs.

I have a 2013 production NF and a 2014 production SAA. They have the removable cylinder bushing and are both very sweet. Fit and finish right there, excellent case colors, and fine actions and triggers (smooth and not nearly as "heavy" as in years past. I've never encountered a NIB 1st gen, but they are both nicer than 2nd gens I've owned and encountered.

I have a SAA in .44-40 from about 10 years ago, and a newer NF in .44 Special, both are great revolvers. The SAA shoots pretty near to POA with a number of loads.
