Colt SAA Sheriff's Model

[@kylevidetto1115]

The Heritage Barkeep, which is based on the Colt SAA Sheriff's Model, is provided with a handheld extractor rod fit for pushing out spent cases of either .22LR or .22WMR, depending on which cylinder you have installed into the revolver. I own it along with the Heritage Rough Rider with sharing similar wood grip panels. Both are very inexpensive pieces of fun guns. 😊

[@gabbyhayes4561]

@klyevidetto1115. I to have both of those firearms. The"Barkeep" has the birdshead handle on it. Nice,fun guns to go plinking with. 🇺🇸😎

[@danedwards3015]

Self Defense is more about the 1st round, than the 5th round. That’s a Great little Gun, I’m happy that you found one that you Liked at a Good price. You Sir are a National Treasure!

[@tinman8518]

Peacemaker Specialists makes a wonderful little blue handled tool that can help get the base pins out without damaging them. I believe you've shown them on your videos before. They are sooo helpful.

[@hickok45]

I agree. I have several. I don't like to have to use them, though. My preference is that I can polish down the base pin enough that it comes out easily. Too bad that about six of those base pin pullers were not packaged with every Colt SAA that has been sold since 1873. Maybe we would not see so many vintage, or newer, Colts with damage to the barrel, frame, and base pin from folks grabbing a screw driver or pair of plyers to get the base pin out. :-) A trick I learned, too, was to cock the hammer fully and tap on the back end of the base pin with a wooden dowell or something to break it loose. It's a bit awkward to do, but it can get one started.

[@tkalus5736]

That's a great heads-up 👍 Thanks!

That gun has a gorgeous report, I can't really explain it.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

Matt Dylan never carried a short barrel weapon and he always got his man.

[@hickok45]

Yes, I love that 7 1/2" Colt he carries. It's actually a Great Western revolver, a Colt clone that was popular in the 50's and 60's. You can spot them pretty easily in the movies or TV series; they always seem to have that same fake stag grip design. I've seen some of them at gun shows, but none of them struck me as very impressive. I think they were pretty good guns, though.

[@mhlaw229]

Great hide out gun. That's probably what they were used for back in the late 1800s thru early 1900s. Very capable revolver in 44-40/44 Spl for self defense range. I'd use a wooden dowel just like Hickok does, no problem, and about as fast as a hand ejector. Great video

[@johncornell3665]

Nice revolver. Thanks Hickok!

[@chriserickson4417]

You're an accomplished marksman, you'll never loose it. Thanks Mr. Hickok 45 for another great video. P.S. tell you Son that he also does a great job and I thank him also.

It’s a good day when Hick posts! 🙏🏼

[@fredloving990]

Growing up we had a Sheriff that did not carry a gun . Never had a badge until they gave him one on his retirement . He won a Mod 36 as a door prize at a Sheriff's Association meeting . He threw it behind his car seat and forgot he had it back there . Found it later when he was cleaning out his car and it was all rusted .

[@richardmarkklimok]

This reminds me of some of the opening lines to the movie “No country for old men” great movie.

[@tomlubas1512]

Bat Masterson tv from late 50s, Gene Barry used a SAA, 3inch barrel, nickel, with an ejector.

[@jasonrusso151]

"Up close & Dirty." lol, great line!

[@nomadicobserver4224]

I believe they also had another short barrel version called The Shopkeeper or The Storekeeper.

[@hickok45]

Yeah, and I think these names were used for these short Colts interchangeably.

[@EricW4445]

@nomadicobserver4224I inherited my Dad’s Colt Storekeeper built in 1985, nickel plated, ivory grips, four inch barrel and no ejector rod. My Dad’s name is engraved on the back strap. It’s a beautiful gun, thanks Pop!

Great video Hickok, really enjoyed it! Your passion for the Colt SAA is evident and I’m glad for you that you were able to add the Sheriff’s Model to your collection. As far as only having five rounds, just think how many J frame Smiths are out there and how many people trust their protection to them. Again, really enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy your new revolver!

My grandpa got a 1940~ snub nose 38 special nickle plated for being a sheriff. It has a stamp on it for being ship out / in the country. People at the local gun store said as a ww2 gift. Wish I could know more about the history behind it. Edit: Just got the part where you mention Chicago and that's where he was a sheriff suburb of Chicago.

Man your the coolest gun guy ive seen. Such a collection and the knowledge.

[@buckshot4428]

FYI I heard stories about a man who retired from IBM that used to fake these Sheriff' Models. He went as far as to change the rifling. He had Colt's letterhead and would give a factory letter with each one that he sold. One man sent his gun to Colt and they told him that the gun was authentic. He did one thing a little different that only he and a select few knew about and that was the front sight was a tad shorter. Short enought that you needed to measure it closely. Our son bought a house next door to his widow.

[@robertm9848]

I'm intrigued by this! So you're saying one guy sent an actual fake gun in to Colt and it was so good they thought it was authentic?

[@hickok45]

Something for everybody to keep in mind. The more money that's involved, the higher the chance of fakery, whether it's a gun, a coin, or whatever. When I was in the market for a decent authentic old U.S. Army Cavalry Colt SAA, I would not even consider one unless it had the Kopec Letter with it. John Kopec is the ultimate expert on these old Colts. "A little learning is a dangerous thing."

[@callawayken650]

So, he some how removed the ejector rod and frame support and was able to make it look authentic? Faked the serial number, changed the rifling, added a sight (probably the easiest task). A lower sight means nothing as people lower the sights all the time on guns that shoot low. Someone told you a whopper.

Why load only 5 if you're at the range and going shoot in fairly rapid succession? I could see for carrying purposes but if you're emptying the cylinder every time, why not 6?

The 44-40 supposedly works best when using black powder because how it’s shaped and such a thin wall. It seals better than 45 colt so the cylinder doesn’t get as grimy. Same with 30-30 lever guns. The shape of it allows it to stay “cleaner” if that’s possible 😂

For a barrel shortening to a Sheriff's model to really work on other barrel lengths the frame portion of the ejector rod housing would need to be machined off. IMHO
