Manual

SECTION 2 MAIN FEATURES
The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, like the 1873 original, is
built the Colt way. The New Frontier Single Action Army (NFSAA) and
some Sheriff's Model revolvers are functionally identical to the Single
Action Army except that the NFSAA has a ramp style front sight and
adjustable rear sight, while the Sheriff's Model has no ejector rod and
special issues have dual cylinders. Some other Sheriff's Models and the
Storekeeper's Model have Blackpowder frames with no ejector rod and
a screw instead of a spring loaded catch to retain the basepin. This
instruction manual applies to these revolvers, commemorative issues of
these revolvers and to the variations of them shown in the table below.
