The Colt Cowboy
Starting in 1999, Colt began manufacturing a version of the Single Action Army revolver with a modern transfer bar safety, allowing it to be carried with the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. The Colt Cowboy, as it was named, was designed to be more affordable than the Single Action Army. It was offered with barrel lengths of 4.75 inches, 5.5 inches, and 7.5 inches. The 7.5 inch variant was discontinued in 1999, as was the 4.75 inch variant which was reintroduced in 2002. Manufacturing of the Colt Cowboy was discontinued in 2003.

“The lariat snaps; the cowboy rolls
His pack, and mounts and rides away.
Back to the land the cowboy goes.”
