With the advent of latest generation of Model Ps, shooters have had a choice of the original black powder-style screw in the front of the frame to hold the cylinder pin or a spring loaded catch, a change that occurred long before World War I. Very recently, Colt rethought this change and all currently produced 3rd Generation Single Actions now once again contain a full-length cylinder bushing. The hand design was changed for easier assembly and the cylinder no longer had a full-length bushing but a button bushing at the front end. First was the match up of the hand and the cylinder. Changes occurred, most of which were ill advised. Return it did in 1976 with the 3rd Generation of the Colt Single Action Army. By the 1970's the machinery was once again wearing out and the Colt Single Action was pronounced dead again in 1974, however this time Colt did not say it would never be returned.
