Colt SAA Revolver

The Colt Single Action Army Revolver Artillery model holds a distinctive place in American military history. Introduced in the 1870s, this version was a standard issue for the U.S. Army’s artillery troops, adapting the original design to suit the rigors of military life. With its 5.5-inch barrel, the Artillery model offered a compromise between the shorter Gunfighter and the longer Cavalry models, providing enhanced accuracy without sacrificing too much speed on the draw. Like its siblings, it was commonly chambered in .45 Colt, ensuring that it packed enough power to serve the needs of soldiers in various skirmishes and battles across the American frontier.
