Reeder Custom Guns - My Nicest Colt SAA 45

[image]

Made in 1897, I picked this 1st Generation gun up in a trade. It was a Christy's rebuild from Hollywood. The bore was gone .. the frame had been buffed until all the lettering was gone.

I got parts from Eddie Janis and rebarreled it with a correct barrel. I fitted a 2nd Generation cylinder and then had the gun cleaned up, re-lettered and blued and color cased.

Paul Persinger made the one-piece grips from Bighorn Sheep.

It turned out pretty nice. I shot it quite a bit .. won several Cowboy Action matches using it. Just before I moved to Africa I gave it to my oldest daughter.

though. Had a USFA rodeo, let it go long ago when I thought they weren't going anywhere and I would just pickup another! Lessons learned. Only thing, not sure if bothers anyone else, the trigger isn't centered, drives me crazy! No clue why, I understand it's part of the design, at least back to the 1851 maybe earlier, not well versed on those.
