Bigger holes.

Not sure I'll like the grips, but easy enough to swap out.


I really wanted a .45 LC, but they're not easy to find in double action,
and the ammo is more expensive.




Interesting move. I like the ACP but it is really a semi auto round.
If I was going for a wheel gun I would go for .41 mag or maybe one of
those .45 LC/.410 "Judge" type guns. They are D/A.
Even a .357 is pretty formidable with the ammo that is available now.
That one has the advantage of training with a .38 wadcutter far
cheaper than a full service round. I still have a large frame Colt
that will shoot just about anything in the .38/357 class but that is
not a concealed carry piece. It has very large custom grips that were
made for my hand back when guys did that sort of thing.
That is the gun I used to shoot almost every day when I had the range
in the basement.

I get a kick out of letting people try my S&W 627. I load it with
alternating .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds and make sure I set the
cylinder so the first one that fires is a .38 Special. The second shot
almost always gets a "Holy ****!"

I don't usually buy firearms for their practicality. I wanted a double
action wheel gun, sort of western style, in .45 caliber. The choices for
..45 Long Colt were limited, and those in double action, hardly there at
all. .45 ACP is "45 enough" for me. I like single action wheel guns,
except removing the brass is a minor pain in the ass.
