Our Assessment: The Colt Single Action Army, also famously known as the Peacemaker, stands as an enduring symbol of the American West and frontier life. Introduced by Colt’s Manufacturing Company in 1873, this iconic revolver was designed by William Mason and Charles Brinckerhoff Richards to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding frontier population and a US Army that was slowly modernizing.
With its distinctive appearance and reputation for rugged durability, the Colt Peacemaker became a staple of Western lore, earning its place in countless tales of frontier adventure. It was the sidearm of choice for legendary figures like Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Billy the Kid, solidifying its status as an indispensable tool of the American frontier. Its association with the romanticized image of the Old West has made it an enduring icon in popular culture, appearing in countless Western films, television shows, and novels.
This is Colt Peacemaker .22, a slightly smaller rimfire version of the famous Single Action Army. It has the look of the original SAA without the size, weight, or cost of feeding ammunition to its bigger centerfire cousin. This revolver is in Excellent condition with a great bore and the vast majority of its finish remaining. It comes in its original box with a .22 Magnum cylinder, so it is great for both plinking and some smaller game and varmints. It ought to help round out a Colt revolver collection, or would be great for training a youngster. Please see our photos and good luck!
