Looks like DA to me.
Uh, I'm pretty sure the Cold Single Action Army is a single action revolver, but I could be mistaken...
Planterz is right. 1871 Colt is single action.

That's the "Bisley Model" of the Colt Model P, or Single Action Army. The Model P was introduced in 1873--it's also sometimes called the Model of 1873. The Bisley Model was introduced around 20 years later. It was named after a competition shooting facility in England. The shape of the grip and the hammer are different from the regular Model P, and it was available with adjustable sights. Looking up "Bisley Model" will show the considerable differences in the guns. Copies of the Colt SAA and guns like the Ruger Vaquero are still available with Bisley frames.OK, I sand corrected. As I said, by the position of the trigger it looks like DA to me. Looking at the hammer also, it could be in some type of safety position, that's why the trigger is moved so far ahead.
I'm not familiar with this particular gun, so I learned something new.
