Hi, 44 AMP,
Just my curiosity, but do you have any photos of that Colt literature? I have seen some Colt SA papers from the pre-WWII period and I don't recall much in the way of instructions. They sort of assumed the buyer knew how to use a gun or he wouldn't be buying one. And I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that Colt did say the SA could be made safe using the "safety" notch.
(The "safety" notch was added to the SAA because the safety pins that were used to safely carry the percussion guns fully loaded could not be used with a cartridge gun.)
Today, of course, we are used to thick manuals, full of red lettered sentences beginning with "Don't", but those are primarily intended to protect the company's fanny, not the gun or its owner.
Jim
