How Many Do You Have?

Capt. John Fitzgerald · November 28, 2005, 07:57:30 PM

I seem to be accumulationg USFA's faster than anything else! I am up to six so far.

4" Nickel Sheriff's model, .45
4&3/4" Blue/CCH, .45 with additional .45 ACP cylinder
4&3/4" Nickel & Ivory, .45
7&1/2" Nickel & Walnut, .45
16" Special with shoulder stock, .45
7&1/2" 1851 Richards Mason conversion, .38

My favorites are the 4&3/4 nickel & ivory becaue of a personalized serial number and the 7&1/2 nickel because it is a tack driver that consistantly gives me 2" groups, POI, at 25 yards (from a bench rest).

Got my nickeled Pre-War, and my blue/cch SAA, both 4 3/4". Giving serious thought to getting a 5 1/2" .45 Rodeo and "antiqueing" it. Iffens I do, I plan to buy it through the Marshal.

I have 6.

all Rodeos

45 Colt
4 3/4, 5 1/2 and 7 1/2 inch barrels (2 each) AND each pair are Consecutive numbered

According to the latest from USAF the 7 1/2 inch Rodeo is going to become "rare" They are not going to be made anymore

Capt. John Fitzgerald · November 29, 2005, 11:49:18 PM

Beans,
Those 7&1/2" guns sound like keepers! I note on the USFA web site that they now only list the 4&3/4 and the 5&1/2 barrels for the Rodeo.

I just received my 7th with two more on the way.

4 3/4" Blue/Case Colored .45 Colt with 2 pc. Walnut
5 1/2" Blue/Case Colored .45 Colt with 2 pc. Walnut
5 1/2" Rodeo .45 Colt
7 1/2" Blue/Case Colored .45 Colt with 1 pc. Walnut
5 1/2" Blue/Case Colored .45 Colt with 1 pc. Walnut
7 1/2" Henry Nettleton

I guess you might say I'm hooked. And now that Stag Grips are available, I don't know what to do with myself. I just love these USFA firearms.

With two Rodeos you ought to be a member of USFACSS. Let me know if you want me to add you to the list.

Happy shooting

I'm up to 2 unmatched Rodeos. One is a Heritage from Legendary Guns. It has the aged Truivory grips and a case-hardened hammer. The other is a basic Rodeo with a white trigger. I'm going to get tru-ivories on it. I wish I had a matched pair, but I never seem to have all the $$ at one time.

I also have a Gunslinger. I know there's some controversy about the age treatment. It costs more than the Rodeos in part because it takes several treatments to build up layers of plum patina. And I don't know if it's just the luck of the draw (pun intended) or by design, but the action, hammer and trigger pulls, are a lot better than my Rodeos (which are still awesome).

Ahh, too many USFA's and not enough time....

I just got my first the other day with slightly aged ivory (5 1/2). Looks wise, I'd put it up against my two Colts any day.

Capt. John Fitzgerald · January 21, 2006, 11:43:25 PM

Ed.
Welcome to the forum. Hope we see more of you here.
Which model USFA did you get?
CJF

Ed Clintwood · January 23, 2006, 10:08:36 AM

The traditional one with case hardened frame and deep blue everywhere else. With the "ivory" grips is sure is pretty, I must admit it will look a little strange next to my 2nd Dragoon. Kinda like a Porsche next to an old Mack truck

Now all I have to do is get to the range to try it out along with my Spencer.
