Any advice on a good price range and/or caliber for these used?  Looking for a range toy to add to my arsenal and I've maxed out on semi's and plastic guns I want to own.

Looking for a range toy and not a safe queen.

Okay, I've been watching a lot of Western's lately (The Magnificent Seven)...

A real Colt or like a Uberti that is as close as you can get and not pay through the ying yang?

Ruger New Vaqueros are also close to the size of a SAA... but have a few more safety features (transfer bar, loading gate freeing cylinder to spin).

Depends on what you are looking for. Do you want that specific sound when cocking the hammer?

I have an Uberti SAA for about 10 years now.  The only departure from the Colt design is the cylinder pin safety (which I don't use).  It's well made and proven durable and accurate.

I got it on 357 as I didn't want to stock or reload another caliber.  Something you might want to consider. 

I really like the big Ruger Blackhawk single actions.  45 Colt has been my latest obsession.  I like the Blackhawk and Old Model Vaquero because I can load plinking cowboy loads to loads that rival the 44 Magnum.  This can't be done with any of the other single actions. I mostly load plinking loads but my 4 5/8" Blackhawk has become my working in the yard gun due to a black bear sow and her cubs.

A true Colt 3rd gen shooter will run you anywhere from $1400 to $1700 if you could find one.  New ones from Colt are a 3+ year wait. The Italian clones are the closest you can get at a much more friendly price.

Taylors and Company have a large assortment of cowboy action firearms.

I have a 1970 with a 7" barrel that I would sell.

45 Colt, blue, new condition, but no box.

W T F must be mia. No responses.
