Rest assured that every effort will be used in our full capacity to provide you with the best, most historic experience possible for you and your fine gun.

“USFA's "Pre War" Single Action … is an exquisitely-executed reproduction of the classic Colt SAA. USFA's Pre War SAA is all but indistinguishable from the venerable (and expensive) Second Generation Colt. The United States Firearms Single Action …, American made in the old Colt factory at Hartford, is a near-perfect rendition of the traditional Peacemaker. The USFA Pre War Single Action … is a near-perfect reproduction of the original Colt. If anything, it is better than the original!” – Mike Cumpston, GunBlast.com.

“…has to be one of the finest replica Colts I've ever examined. Essentially, it's one of the Pre-War model revolvers subject to a very professional high polish finish and fitted up as well as anything I've ever had the pleasure to pull a trigger on. Exhibiting all the characteristics of a genuine Pre-War Colt, the fit and finish left nothing to complain about.

Colt should get USFA to make their single-actions. There, I said it. In my opinion, this made-in-the-U.S. hogleg is nicer than anything that's come from the Colt factory in a long time.” – Guns of the Old West, Summer 2004.
