1st Generation Colt Single Action Army

The legendary Colt Single Action Army (S.A.A.) revolver is iconic. Known as "the gun that won the west", "the Peacemaker", and "Big Iron", it is the quintessential cowboy gun, used by lawmen, outlaws, and civilians alike during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and is practically seen in almost every single classic western movie. The Single Action Army revolver features a six-round cylinder and has been offered in over 30 different kinds of calibers, but it was first chambered in the .45 Long Colt cartridge, which was the standard round used by the U.S. military for many years since its first introduction to the market. There are many variants of the S.A.A. with the Cavalry (7.5" Inch), Artillery (5.5" Inch), and Civilian (4.75" Inch) models being the standard and are most common. Seen in classic western flicks like "The Quick & The Dead" and popular video games like the Red Dead Redemption series, the Colt .45 S.A.A. is definitely a cult-classic staple in the world of firearms.

The Colt S.A.A. is a single-action revolver, meaning that the shooter must manually cock the hammer before firing each shot. This adds an extra level of control and precision to the shooting experience, as the shooter must take the time to aim and fire deliberately. The trigger pull is light and crisp, making it easy to achieve accurate shots even at longer distances. But if you fancy shooting like a cowboy, you'd be tempted to quick-draw the gun and fan all six shots. As cool and badass as it sounds, it would not be recommended to do so, as the revolver's internals are delicately crafted, and it would result in premature wear and tear unless it has been finely tuned to allow for the fanning technique to be used consistently. However, for Airsoft, Marushin is a step ahead with their design, making it so that the Marushin S.A.A. Airsoft revolver series can be fanned without fear, with its durable internal components and lightweight cylinder material.

The Marushin S.A.A. 1st Gen Airsoft revolver series is a high-quality 1:1 replica of the first-generation Single Action Army revolver and is fully licensed by Colt USA! It features a high-quality external matt black polymer resin construction that is infused with Zinc powder, giving it a nice and solid feel in the hand. The polymer shell is also impact-resistant due to its reinforced resin composition. The outer barrel construction is set deep with reinforcement to the frame, and the shell ejector rod assembly is made of metal. The grip handle is also outfitted with wood panels that give the piece that vintage, customized aesthetic, overall giving each piece a unique characteristic. Internally, the gun is reinforced with a metal skeleton, giving the revolver an overall robust construction. The firing components are also made of metal, ensuring that the gun functions smoothly and reliably, while also allowing for that pronounced signature 4 C.O.L.T. clicks when cocking the hammer.

The Marushin S.A.A. Airsoft revolver series functions and loads just like the real thing. To load and prepare the gun, first you must set the hammer to half-cock position, then open and access the loading gate. Load the shells one by one while turning the cylinder each time. After loading all six shells, close the loading gate and slowly decock the hammer back to neutral position. Now the revolver is ready to shoot! The Marushin S.A.A. Airsoft revolver series is powered by gas and can take 8kg duster gas (HFC134a) and 12kg green gas.

Overall, the Marushin S.A.A. 1st Gen Airsoft revolver series is a blast to shoot, to say the least, with all clicks and clacks expected when cocking an Airsoft Single Action Army revolver. Although the gun does not have any blowback, the weight of the hammer slamming forward does give the gun a unique feel. The gun is fully skirmishable and is perfect for any western loadout, whether it be lawman or outlaw. It is also a great replica for collectors and western firearm enthusiasts alike.
