From the Vault: Colt SAA Flattop Target Revolver
This video showcases a Colt Single Action Army (SAA) Flattop Target Revolver from Rock Island Auction Co. Built in the late 1890s, this premium firearm is chambered in .44 Russian, a popular target round of its era. The description highlights its near-mint condition and features designed for target shooting, including oversized, double-diamond checkered grips for a secure hold and a drift-adjustable rear sight with a high-visibility brass insert for aiming at black bullseye targets. The video also points out the checkered wide target trigger and the excellent condition of the nitre blued screw heads. It's noted that despite its age, the revolver is suitable for shooting today, even in the early smokeless powder era.
