Can't find any mention of the Double Eagle on the USFA web site. I checked after finding the following announcement on Ten Ring's web site;
"Double Eagles are all sold. USFA is out of several parts used to build these beautiful single actions. It is a shame, but there will probably not be any more made."I have a Double Eagle that I ordered through my dealer, and received, just over a year ago. I ordered bright nickel and when it came in it had the matte, Rodeo II, finish with fire blue screws. I was a bit disappointed but took it anyway as I did not want to bother my dealer friend with the hassles of returning it. The DE may not be SASS legal but it is a neat little gun. If what Ten Ring says is true, I'm glad I got one. I wonder how many other DE's left the factory with the matte nickel finish?
It has been mentioned here on the board, and on USFA's web site, that they are "re-tooling" their SAA line. Hopefully the elimination of some of their innovative models, such as the Double Eagle, is just a temporary thing and they will return once USFA has filled their back log of SAA orders. I suppose there is nothing we can do but wait and see.
