There are plenty of Single Action Army reproductions out there, but the Standard Manufacturing SAR sits in a class of its own. Every component is machined in-house from solid 4140 steel, with zero cast or metal injection molded parts anywhere in the gun. Then the real magic happens: hand polishing, hand stoning, and careful fitting by the same master gunsmiths behind Connecticut Shotgun's legendary doubles. The result is a .45 Colt sixgun that cocks and locks with a smoothness you have to feel to believe, and even the screw slots are timed north to south. That is the kind of detail almost nobody bothers with anymore.
This version wears the classic 4.75 inch barrel, the so-called gunfighter length that sits flush with the ejector rod housing and balances beautifully in the hand. The frame and spurred hammer get traditional bone and charcoal color case hardening with vibrant, swirling colors, while the barrel, cylinder, and remaining steel carry a deep blue. Fire-blued screws and pins finish it off, and the two-piece walnut grips fit the frame like they grew there. It runs true to the original 1873 pattern too, with a cone-shaped firing pin and no transfer bar, so the trigger and lockwork feel exactly the way they should.
This is not a safe queen unless you want it to be. Reviewers have run hundreds of rounds through these with flawless cycling and clean ejection, printing groups around three inches at 25 yards with everything from soft cowboy loads to stout hunting ammunition. Standard even ships a serial-matched test target with each gun. Whether you run it in cowboy action matches, pack it on a hunt, or add it to a collection of fine single actions, the SAR holds its own against first-generation guns and does it with modern steel and modern precision.
Owners consistently rave about the fit, the finish, and the case colors that outshine just about anything else on the market today. If you have been waiting for a traditional single action built without compromise, this is the one worth the wait.
No, and that is by design. The SAR stays true to the original 1873 pattern with a cone-shaped firing pin and traditional lockwork, no transfer bar. Like any classic-pattern single action, the time-tested practice is to load one, skip a chamber, load four more, and rest the hammer on the empty chamber.
Any standard SAAMI-spec .45 Colt load is fair game, from soft cowboy action rounds to heavier hunting and defensive loads. The solid 4140 steel construction handles full-power standard ammo without complaint. Just steer clear of the extra-hot loads marked for Ruger or TC Contender only, as those are meant for stronger modern frames.
Very respectable for a fixed-sight single action. Published testing showed roughly three-inch groups at 25 yards with cowboy loads and sub three-inch groups with heavier hunting ammo, and Standard ships a serial-matched test target with each gun showing what it did at the factory. The hand-fitted action and precise barrel-to-cylinder alignment do a lot of the work for you.
The big separators are materials and handwork. Every part is machined from solid 4140 steel with no castings or MIM parts, then hand-polished, hand-stoned, and fitted by master gunsmiths connected to Connecticut Shotgun. Reviewers who own first-generation Colts and Uberti clones consistently say the fit, action smoothness, and case coloring on the Standard come out ahead.
