1979 Colt SAA .44 Special Single Action Army – 3rd Gen Nickel, 4.75" Barrel, Relief-Carved Steer Head Grips

This Colt Third Generation Single Action Army revolver, manufactured in 1979, delivers classic Western appeal with a standout feature—relief-carved steer head grips, adding a bold frontier personality to the iconic design. Chambered in .44 Special with a 4 3/4-inch barrel, this revolver is finished in brilliant factory nickel and retains 99%+ of its original finish.

The grips feature a carved steer head on the right side and show light age cracking near the butt, consistent with age but not detracting from their visual appeal. A small discoloration on the hammer and faint drag line on the cylinder are the only notable handling marks. Mechanically, this six-shooter is in excellent working order and visually stunning from every angle.

Whether you’re a Colt collector, a cowboy-action enthusiast, or simply want a revolver with show-stopping Western flair, this SAA stands out for its craftsmanship and character.
