ORDER DIRECT and SAVE! $78.95 Government Model/ Officers’ Model Mag Guide Available: Flat/Arched SS/BL 20 LPI NEW: Flat now available in Smooth Also Available: Grizzly Flat-SS/BL $89.95 Single actions will fire upside down, touching a doorframe or barricade or shoved into an assailant’s gut. The single action will function with full power modern defensive ammunition, ultra wimpy cowboy action loads and any bullet design from wad cutters to hollow points or snake shot. Limp-wristing, the bane of polymer-framed semiauto shooter has no effect on the single action, and you never have to worry about bent magazine lips, polishing a feed ramp or replacing springs. The gun was a wonder when designed and still is. The lessons learned and the fun I had in that class have never left me, and now that I have retired from law enforcement and am no longer under department restrictions as to what I can carry for a concealed firearm I wanted something unique, different, custom, classy but capable. The seed planted 13 years ago began to grow into an idea and then a concept. What would my ideal concealed carry single action revolver look like? What features and modifications would be desirable? I wanted a single action that retained the traditional features and look of the originals but incorporating two very important modern features, the capability of handling full power defensive loads and the incorporation of what I consider a necessity in any combat handgun, a night sight. This led me to USFA. The United States Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a privately held company, which began operations in 1993 under the blue dome of the original Colt Armory in Hartford, Connecticut. USFA moved to a new Hartford site in 2001 and uses modern CNC technology to manufacture some of the finest Single Action Army revolvers, Lightning magazine rifles and 1911s anywhere. Despite the use of state of the art CNC tooling there’s still a touch of old world craftsmanship to revolvers coming out of the USFA factory. Every part of the revolver is individually fitted to a particular frame, resulting in flawless timing, exceptionally tight cylinder lock up and little to no end shake. Although faithful to the original Colt’s design there are important changes too. The cylinder, constructed from heattreated 4140 series steel, is .020" larger in diameter, and the top strap is thicker resulting in extra strength. Full power defense loads? No problem. A minor, but I feel equally important change, is to the front sight, straight instead of tapered and wider measuring .10". This makes the front sight easier to see and results in a more precise sight picture.
