About Real Colt Single Action Army (SAA) Revolver The Colt Single Action Army (SAA), often referred to as the "Peacemaker," is a legendary single-action revolver that holds a significant place in American history. Manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company, it was first introduced in 1873 and quickly became one of the most famous handguns of its time. Known for its reliability, power, and distinctive design, the Colt SAA was widely used during the late 19th century, particularly in the American Old West, by civilians, lawmen, and outlaws alike. The revolver operates on a single-action mechanism, which means the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot.
