I like my Blackhawk, with the interchangable cylinders in 43 ACP and
45 Long Colt. Best of both worlds. Have to admit it usually gets
fired in 45 LC. The custom-built 1911 with adjustable trigger and
match barrel gets most of the ACP ammo.

That, of course, would be *45* ACP. 43 would rattle around a bit. :-)

Thanks. I didn't want to 'question' it, but that's what I thought.
Doesn't the LC cost a bit more
than the ACP? And, is it as available? I've never seen any at WalMart,
for example, but I've found
the ACP there several times.


The advantage of any particular caliaber is gone when there is no ammo
available. Stick with
the basics, 9mm Luger/9x19, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223/5.56 and .30-06.


Probably more .308 now than .30-06. Nicer round for semi auto rifles,
shorter action required. Actually for a bolt action would also be better
because of case length.


"Wal Mart always seems to have .223 and 30-06. I don't see .308 there very often, and I've seen
30-30 only once in the past many months. I bought a box. Now I can see if the Model 94 will shoot.
It was a gift from my next door neighbor, but I've never fired it.

I'm thinking of giving it to my grandson when he makes Eagle Scout.
