Hey guys

I guess the pinched frame won't handle heavy loads. What's safe?

The USFA pinched frame model has replicated the original with an accurate cylinder size and frame window, so there is not the extra metal of USFA's standard SAA models. I would guess, and this is not an official opinion, that todays factory cowboy loads would be allright.

Anything that you can fire in a 3rd gen. Colt should be just fine in the new USFA frame.
