Our Assessment
The Colt Single Action Army remains one of the most influential revolvers in American firearms history. Introduced in 1873 and adopted by the United States Army, the design became closely associated with military service, westward expansion, law enforcement, and civilian sporting use. Its distinctive profile, side loading gate, fixed sights, and single action mechanism have remained remarkably consistent across more than a century of production.
Colt's 3rd Generation Single Action Army, introduced in 1976, continued that tradition while incorporating manufacturing changes intended to support renewed production of the classic design. Modern examples retain the familiar appearance and operating characteristics of their nineteenth century predecessors, making them popular among collectors who appreciate traditional Colt revolvers.
This 2008 consecutive serial numbered pair is particularly interesting for its matching configuration. Serial numbers S57410A and S57411A are sequential, and both revolvers feature 5.5 inch barrels, .38-40 chambering, original nickel finishes, and checkered black hard rubber grips. The .38-40 cartridge, introduced by Winchester in 1874, became an established chambering in both lever action rifles and revolvers during the frontier era, making it a historically appropriate choice for the Single Action Army.
Condition is a notable strength of this pair. Both revolvers retain approximately 99 percent of their original nickel finish, with only faint handling and storage marks. Neither cylinder exhibits a visible turn line, and both bores remain bright with sharp rifling and no observed erosion. The grips likewise remain in Excellent condition.
The inclusion of serial matching factory packaging, locking devices, and paperwork for both revolvers further enhances the completeness of the set. For Colt collectors, the combination of consecutive serial numbers, matching configurations, traditional .38-40 chambering, and exceptionally well preserved condition makes this an especially appealing pair of modern 3rd Generation Single Action Army revolvers.
