That's the problem when generalizing about anything good or bad. Is there a serial# range that specifies the 2nd gen gun using 1st gen parts? And as with any gun, certain configurations like the short barrel 45s, will always command higher market demand and therefore prices. The earliest are the most desirable and are virtually like late 1st gen guns with updated screw threads except the barrel, even using some pre war parts, and command the highest prices, the mid next, etc. They are divided into 3 age groups early, mid and late.

And even though current 3rd gens are now decent guns befitting the Colt name, Colt's financial situation is so poor that their production is limited. When there was a roughly 25 year period after 2nd gen production ceased when no decent Colt SAAs were available, a similar price escalation began with the 2nd gens. Just like after the war when there were no 1st gens being made any more, the prices skyrocketed and they keep going up. Only much more recently c.2000 have 3rd gen guns regained that feature and only more recently have 3rd gens approached the quality of fit and finish of 2nd gens. And as with any gun, certain configurations like the short barrel 45s, will always command higher market demand and therefore prices.Īll 2nd gen guns have 1st gen type separate cyl base pin bushings. Second gen Colt SAAs are not all the same.
