I want a TRUE single action revolver

The dangerous kind, not the PC transfer bar liberal pussy SA revolvers they sell nowadays. I gotta have the right "click, click" when I cock the hammer.
What should I buy?

Ole Geauxt has what you're looking for or did.

Just buy a new Colt.

Buy something made before 1900... although I don't see how something that prevents a gun from blowing a hole in you if you drop it is "PC" or "liberal pussy."
I'd be willing to bet the guys who carried SA revolvers back in the day would have liked to have their cylinder fully loaded.

Either a really cheap new one or an old blackhawk/vaquero/SAA

All the Vaqueros have a transfer bar. They are not true replicas. All New Model Ruger single actions have a transfer bar.
The old model / 3-screw Ruger single actions are not replicas either, however they do not have a transfer bar.
The Italian replicas of the Colt SAA mostly do not have transfer bars, however they do have different forms of hammer blocks to pass drop tests.
The recently departed USFA single action had no transfer bar and was high quality.
The discontinued Colt Cowboy had a transfer bar. I do not recommend it.
And finally, the Colt Single Action Army is fundamentally the same gun as it was when introduced in 1873 and does not have a transfer bar.
For all traditional SA revolvers you MUST carry the gun with an empty chamber under the hammer (load 5 rounds only). NO EXCEPTIONS.

I'm usually not a huge fan of unnecessary safties, such as rebounding hammers and cross bolt safties, but the transfer bar I like.
I can safly carry six bullets.
Maybe I'm a pussy, but don't call me no damn liberal.

Colt SAA is the most tried and true revolver out there. It is still around for a reason.
