I happened to be surfing around the USFA site today & stumbled on this. I don't know about you guys, but there's just something sick-n-wrong with this picture.

I guess maybe they're trying to appeal to a younger crowd, who would normally only be interested in colored plastic autos??
Funky, man.

What a coincident I too ran across those yesterday and YUCK what were they thinking. Oh well different stokes I guess.

I don't know, I kinda like that dark grey number...
Not sure I want my pistol rust colored though - been trying to avoid that my whole life!!

The coatings are right at home on a modern looking firearm but the trusty ole single action just doesnt look right unless it's blued or case hardened. Just my two cents worth anyway. Not that I would turn one down if the price was right or something like that.

I found interesting they mention on their site a new to come .41 short mag. What is that? I think the colors must have appeal to someone I suppose. I agree with lbruce on the way a single action should look, but I still drool over the United Sporting arms Sevilles and FA model 83's.

Those are some funky colors! To me just doesn't have a place on a Single Action. With that being said I do like the brushed Blue finish on my 445 SuperMag I just got back from DW and those pictures above sort of look like that... I'm assuming the finish above though is some sort of coating.

The only ones that are really palletable to me are the grey & possibly the black. But the green & the rust colors are just...WOOF!
SMF, I agree. Especially with the Seville, I'd like to land a nice one of those some day.

On an AR15 site awhile back, they had a hot pink model and an international orange model. Sure couldn't lose it in the woods, unless you buried it deep.

High Standard offered colored guns over 50 years ago. The following link is to a brochure from 1958.

For some reason the link above did not work. Here is the link to brochure John is referring to.

Hah!
USFA probably thinks they thought up something new with their guns.

There was an American Rifleman magazine cover picturing three colored guns on the late 1950's or early 1960's . One was the High Stadnard Sentinel but I don;t recall the makes of the othes. One was a shotgun.
