It's the color cased, "factory slicked" version aimed at the cowboy shooters market. There's some paperwork indicating that it had been smoothed and tuned at the factory and was ready to rock and roll out of the box.

It is slick and pretty. Well fitted overall. I've shot it a bit but haven't done any serious work with regard to loads, etc.

I have a pair of 7.5" in 45 Colt, great shooters, look great, no cylinder turn lines and have had no problems with them...and they both shoot to the same point of aim.

I thought AWA was the best of the clones (reply)

This one is not case hardened but no end shake and takeup is spot on. Very good trigger. Do not want to spend the $ on a SAA Colt but kind of always wanted at least a clone. I have looked at Taylors web site. Might have to explore their's. I think they use Uberti.

If every thing is tight it is IMO an excellent quality SAA clone. Mine new out of the box had more, base pin / cylinder bushing, play than I liked so I hand fit a new Bushing. It is now a great shooter. I haven't shot it a lot maybe 2k rounds of my standard 45 Colt load (RCBS SAA-45-270, WW, @ 850/900 fps). It is still tight. If memory serves I replaced the flat trigger spring with a wire spring while I had it opened up, and ordered a spare cylinder bolt and hand which I have not used. Long Story Short, I like mine.
