Hello all, new member here.

Here's my new USFA.  I've wanted one of these for years and was finally able to pick one up a couple of weeks ago.  I've always been a Colt fan, but I have to say these are the finest single actions of the Colt style currently being made.  Smooth action, excellent trigger, perfect fit and finish as well as dead-on accuracy.  What more can you ask for?



Here with my thirty-year old Colt and my Uberti '73.

Is the Colt a second or third generation?  The Uberti compliments the revolvers nicely in the photo.

Thank you gentlemen.

VG, the Colt is an early third generation made in 1977.  I got lucky with that one, it shoots directly to point of aim and is very accurate.

Thanks, the leather was made by Tombstone Leather out of San Diego.  I have a matching holster for the longer barreled Colt.  I've had the rig for about ten years and I believe Tombstone is now out of business.

You did just fine with the posting.  That is a really nice rig you have there.  I love the color of the leather.

Howdy, folks.  Here is my pair of Rodeos.  They have consecutive serial numbers, simulated ivory grips by Ajax, and the antique finish was done by using Gulden's Brown Mustard. The Red River D on the backstrap shields was hand engraved.
Hope ya'll like 'em.  I sure do.

Stunning, just gorgeous.  Striking case color on the USFA and rich finish on the Bianchi.  Heck, fine quality photo too!  Smiley

Very nice guns, there, Mr. Yancey.  How's that Lightning running?  Any problems?  I'd like to find one that works better than the originals.

Well, thank ya Mr. Cogburn. This will probably answer your question in the new member thread too - I'm very new to all this and found USFA through a search for single actions, because I always wanted one. Followed the link to SASS and CAS-City and was totally hooked by what I saw.  Figured USFA was making the best and set my sights on them and luckily found the three in the picture at a local dealer.

I like the Lightning a lot so far, but don't have much to compare it with. It seems to have a smooth action, and my groupings were pretty tight for a newbie. I love its low profile and how quick I can get off shots due to the pump action. But I've only had these for about a month.

Cheers,
Scott Yancey

As promised long ago here is my USFA Cowboy in .45 Colt.  I was going to buy a .44-40/.44 Special this month but IKE had something to say about that.

United States Patent Fire Arms - .357 magnum



This is the gun (not the exact gun) that got them sued by Colt for the use of "Patent" in their name, hence United States Fire Arms. I think that is when they dropped the .357 Magnum chambering also.

Here's my present USFA battery - until the budget recovers sufficiently to purchase more!  2 Premium SAA's in 44-40 and a Lightning Carbine (with rifle buttstock) in 44-40.

Tombstone Leather aka Knights Leather Products got back into manufacturing gun leather earlier this year.

Yeah, I reload - can't afford not to.  I use Bear Creek 41 heeled.  You can contact me at ThreeB.Shooting@att.net if you have more questions.  Be happy to jaw.

Which Model of USFA is most popular or used? And how about Bbl. length? I am new here and don't know which way to go. Any info would be most helpful. Craig
