Updated August 7, 2026

Operates fully and is a shooter for sure. All numbers match except the cover which is common. The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) in .41 caliber (commonly chambered for the .41 Long Colt cartridge) was the fifth most popular caliber for the iconic "Peacemaker," with over 16,000 produced during its first generation. Introduced in 1885, it was highly favored for its balance of lighter recoil and decent stopping power.Here are the critical details and historical context of this firearm:Cartridge: The .41 Long Colt was an inside-lubricated round (though early versions were outside-lubricated) that featured a unique "heeled" bullet design. It was also popular in Colt’s double-action models and the Bisley.Historical Production: It saw wide use among lawmen, outlaws, and homesteaders alongside Winchester rifles.Market Value: Authentic First Generation SAAs (manufactured between 1873 and 1940) are highly collectible. Historical examples, depending on condition, finish, and year of manufacture, typically appraise and sell in the range of $1,500 to upwards of $3,000 at auction or specialized sales.Ammunition & Shooting: Original ammunition is obsolete, and modern factory loads are exceedingly rare. Many modern owners handload their own ammunition using hollow-base bullets to properly engage the rifling, as bore diameters often varied among older production runs.
