Does anyone know if the are any other American companies other than Colt, Ruger and Freedom that make single action armies or other similar "western era" guns?
I don't buy foreign "American old west" style guns (yes, I know some foreign guns are ok but I prefer American, it's just me) and I was curious if there are any manufacturers I'm not aware of. I have a Ruger New Vaquero (great guns) and hope to make a Colt my next. |

Just my two cents. |
There are plenty of others buying the foreign guns, I prefer American. I don't have anything against the Italian copies and others but it's not my thing. My lever actions are Winchester and Henry and I wouldn't buy foreign with those either. I do wish more American companies would create old west era guns, we shouldn't have to depend on Italy to do it for us. Besides my Beretta 92A1 supports them  (fantastic gun).

Not according to their website. They have several different configurations of their little .22 mini gun thingies and a couple mini semi-auto's but nothing full size or close to a SAA. my reading a comprehension was lacking a bit; you want a full size saa type; besides the rest that have been mentioned the only other "American" made saa I can think of is heritage arms; I don't think they're entirely American made though; iirc some parts are made offshore and then final fit/finish is done here in America. |

Sounds like someone has a Colt in their future...  Get a Colt . You know that is the corect choice . THe Italian copies can be quite nice . I wanted the big S&W model 3 in .44 russian and since S&W cannot make them any more I'm pleased to have The Uberti remake
