Can anyone think of a company that makes an all blue 7 1/2 inch Single Action?

American Western Arms has all blue as a finish option. I'm sure USFA will accommodate you seeing as how their guns are built to customer specifications. I think EMF's GWII can be special ordered in full blue too.

Thank you, sir. Good leads.

Every now and then I need a project. Several years back, I duplicated for myself the Eastwood spaghetti western gun and holster rig. Recently, I was thinking about doing the Paladin rig as it is now on the Westerns Channel. I think the closest version of the holster rig would be by Alfonso. .. The gun was a 7 1/2in all blue Colt. The cowboy guns mag did a story a few issues back about a similar gun from EMF but when I called them, they said the magazine article had been written over a year ago and the gun was no longer available. I checked the AWA website and they offer the Ultimate version in 7 1/2 in blue. Does anyone know how close the Ultimate is to the Peacekeeper that they were forced by Colt to discontinue. Except for the grips ,which Colt was peeved about, is it the same gun with the same action job? I have a Peacekeper and it is very well made and very smooth.

On the outside, the AWA Ultimate is so close to a Colt SAA, that it'll bring tears to Colt's eyes.

Personnally, I'd go with a USFA, but that's just me.

The gun with CCH in the picture is my "retirement Colt"
At one of Nick's Walker 47 Swap Meets, Debbie from EMF pulled this all blue gun from under the counter, She said it was the last one they had. On my way home that gun was screaming to me to fit it with Colt grips.

You might ask on some of the classified threads on the various forums and see if anything turns up. It is a sweet shooter and virtually identical to its cousin, the Colt..

I believe that Ruger has dropped the synthetic Case Hardening finish on the Vaqueros now - so they are all blue, but they've also dropped the 7.5" length - so you may have to call Colt and have the custom shop make one up without CCH on it. 

You might also find a re-finisher who can strip the finish and re-blue a Ruger for you.

I'd like the Colt custom route myself as Case Hardening visually competes with engraving, and I'd like to build a nicely engraved BBQ gun from a Colt some day soon . . . .

  Back in the 60's it was popular to get your Ruger Blackhawk or Colt MIRROR BLUED, this produced the best looking finish on a gun I've ever seen, and I still feel that way, they polish your gun to a mirror finish, and then deep blue it, I don't know who does this type finish now, all the ones I knew of back then have passed on, but it would be well worth it to find a Great Western 2, Ruger Vaquero, Colt or your choice , in a 7 1/2" barrel and have this process done, it's totally awesome and beautiful, and talk about a gun that will look like it means business this is the one, I've seen them where the hammer and trigger were also done as well, and that's really a looker, even with black rubber grips the gun looks great. IMHO

Hey everybody, I'm new to the sight and was browsing when I saw this post, so I wanted to reply to it. First, I'm not a CA shooter, but just a big, big fan of single action guns, and while I don't currently own one, I'm working on changing that any day now. I've looked at several guns lately, Ruger, Uberti, EAA Bounty Hunter, Charles Daly, and Heritage Big Bore, and saw a couple of Heritage Big Bore revolvers today at a shop.  One was a 4.75" all blue, and so I've checked their website and they have all three barrell sizes all blue, blue with CC frame, and nickel. I'm lookinh real hard at a 7.5" all blue in .357. Anyway, that's my long-winded answer!

Looks like a great sight and I'm sure a fun one as well!

Heritage Rough Rider Big Bore revolvers are available in all blue, CC/blue, and nickel plated, in all three barrel lengths, in .45 Colt and .357 magnum.

I did manage to obtain two 7.5 inch blue RNVs about a year ago off the internet.  They were scarce then.
