Thanks! I have actually wanted one for quite some time. Since I last saw one new in a store back in I think 87? as a kid. I just remember it being "dirty harry" cool! lol

I'm thrilled other people have drawn the joker connection. My brother has been calling it the Joker gun since day one and I had to revisit the movie to get the joke. If you do mount an optic please throw some pictures/results up. I'd like to see how it works out. Again, welcome to the club!

Me likey, a lot. I'm casually looking for one as well.

One more hint, we had to add sticky shims over the trigger pin to keep it from walking as our Volqu. grips seemed to have a little slack in that area. I have no idea how many rounds it took before this showed up as we were shooting about 500 rds. a week that year. We ended up buying a pair of custom wood laminate grips with a heel shelf and a flatter bottom for the two hand hold.

There aren't a lot of these guys out there. I can't wait for some range time!

Be gentle when you use that thing, most people won't be used to the size...

This is my 10" piece. Colt SAA 135th Anniversary Edition. .45 Colt; 50% engraved.

That's a sweet looking revolver. I bet it shoots REAL nice with the long barrel, being a .45.

Dregan,
I bought the Colt new in 1986. The hammer has never been cocked nor has the cylinder been turned. The gun has never been shot or even loaded.

Then how do you know if it works?

It is still a sweet gun. I didn't realize it was an unfired collectible. that makes it even sweeter.
