I will be buying new Sauer grips for $40. I have seen the 6 inch DAs sell for $400-$500. Anyone who curses a Sauer SAA style cowboy gun as they work on it has never played with an Uberti. The guns still carried the Sauer name but were made under license in Italy. Hawes still under Hy Hunter went broke again, and the tooling for the SAA style guns was sold off to Armi San Paolo. The pre-Medallion/Competition DA/SA revolvers had cylinder pins rather than a S&W or Charter Arms style latch. I bought a NIB Hawes Medallion, which is essentially a loosely based copy of a S&W Model 15. I have seen an occasional grumpy gunsmith mumble and curse the Sauer SAA style guns as not being worth $20, as they make parts for them, but usually those parts came lose and were lost unlike Uberti, Pedersoli, Chiappa, and the other Italian copy SAA style revolvers that are rather famous for having really bad metallurgy, and some very sloppy workmanship. They weren't perfect, but they worked and they did not break down as much as the Italian copies do. Everyone I have spoken with held their single action.
The pistols were usually some type of a copy/clone of a Colt SAA style "old west handgun", sold under the Herters brand, and then there was Hy Hunter who went broke, and reopened again under the name Hawes. Sauer also makes rifles for other makers who sell "Cape Rifles" at prices well in excess of $15,000 for a bolt action Mauser type full control bolt rifle. Sauer made/makes rifles for Weatherby and other high end rifle importers, and those are NOT the rifles that Weatherby sells at Walmart.
