Howdy all,
 Has anyone heard of any news on the new century arms SAA that are supposed to be out "soon"?

If the quality is anything like their other products, I'll pass.

Texlee, I read the article about the Century Arms SAA.  I then went and read Centuries web site.  I have found comments on different forums that make it sound as if they are already out and at a lot higher price than indicated.  Now when I said "out" that should be taken both ways as the few places that it appears ever had one are out.

There is something that I did not gleam from any site I have found.  What sets the Century SAA apart from the normal Pietta?  In my mind they are just importing for sale and not doing anything different.

Some of their sample guns had the firing pin on the hammer but I'm told the production guns would have a transfer bar.  FWIW

Like I said, from forum posts and dang if I can remember where.  It came up when I was doing a search for the Century SAA. 

Bottom Dealing Mike did a revue video http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,47603.0.html  posted in the darksiders den.  He would be able to give more specifics, you might want to shoot him a PM.

Is the gun actually built by Century?

No.
