Howdy frogman6,
You'll get a some differing opinions on the current production SAA. In my opinion,you'd be better off finding a good 2nd generation SAA-these are generally considered Colt's best work in this pistol.
Your other options are the SAA clones,such as the Cimmaron Model P and EMF Hartfords. These can be very good guns and are decidely less expensive than true Colt SAAs. And,the Ruger Vaquero is a very well built and reliable pistol and is very popular with cowboy shooters.
Decide if you must have a Colt. If so,be very wary of the current production guns. Look for a good 2nd gen. SAA. If you want a SAA-look alike,then the Cimmaron and EMF guns are very hard to tell from the real thing,and are much less expensive. If you want a pistol that looks a lot like a Colt and will stand up to the rigors of CAS,then the Ruger is a good choice.
