I put this off for some time . I finally ordered a Rodeo model in October for myself . I wasn't looking for a show piece , just a solid shooter . No longer listed in calibers other than 45 Colt or 38 Spl , I requested a 44 Spl 5.5" . They aggreed to make one up special
It arrived earlier this month . We sell these , but I've never taken a really close look . The fitting on these is spectacular . It locks up with authority . Weather here hasn't cooperated so I can't report on how she shoots . I have a feeling though

Anyone considering a quality upper end SAA , the USFA is definately one to consider

Thats cool. I had no idea they could be cajoled into making up the Rodeo in any caliber other than the .45 or .38, but I'd be darn tempted by such a thing.
I agree on the fitting. I have three Colt SAAs, two from around 1980, one recent production. The USFA is the equal of any of them as best I can tell from just looking.

After buying a .44 Special Colt NIB for $1200, I decided not to shoot it because of the increasing value. So, I found a NIB Rodeo in .44 Special. Then, I got a deal on a .45. Then a seldom seen .38-40 WCF. Now, these are my favorite standard loaded SAs. Great quality. I only wish they continued to make the old BP calibers as I would love to add a .44-40.

Give them a call . They might surprise you and say "yes" .

Post up some pics, USFA makes beautiful guns. I wanted one for a long time, but couldn't justify it.

No pics here yet .

An added bonus is a pretty good rebate deal .

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine! Here it is, a few years old now, and in .45 Colt

Fred, that thing is beautiful!

Is the rodeo a modern version with a transfer bar, or is it a 5 shot with the hammer down on an empty chamber?

It is a pre transfer bar, pre attorney designed 5 shooter.

Thank you. They certainly are a nicely finished firearm at a reasonable price.

I'm very happy with mine. It's built BETTER than my 3rd gen Colt SAA.
