how much does a new custom shop saa cost these days?

[duelist1954]

@italianrelic I'd say around $1,200. I got a writer's discount on mine, so I can't be certain of the retail price.

Mike - I appreciate your quick response.  I am shooting low - aligning the top of the rear sight with the top of the front angles the barrel lower - so I am shooting lower. I was very accurate on elevation when I aligned 1/2 way down the rear sight with the top of the front. What has been your experience? Thanks.

[duelist1954]

@blakng My experience is just the opposite...shooting about 6 inches high. Low shooting is easily fixed by filing down the front sight. High shooting requires a new, higher front sight.

@duelist1954 I'm not a sick person, but if your revolver went off at 4:14 when you were dropping the hammer on the empty chamber...I would have been crying in laughter. Would have been a classic blooper, assuming nobody was in front of the muzzle

[duelist1954]

@Alexn1067 Alex, you can clearly see the empty chamber under the hammer. If it wasn't visually clear I wouldn't have dropped it.

@duelist1954 oh I know. I wasn't accusing you of being unsafe or not knowing what you're doing, It was just a thought that ran through my head lol
