Did you ever buy your .45 revolver? I'm thinking a .45 ACP revolver might round out the wee

collection nicely.



The S&W Judge is on my list.



You seein' a bunch of rattlers up there? I think you meant the Taurus Judge, or the S&W Governor.

I kinda like that S&W 625 JM, (http://tinyurl.com/88czrkp ) but wish it were more the 'western'

style. Oh well, I can live without a .45 revolver for a while. It'll take a couple years to earn

enough VISA reward points to get it anyway.







Ruger makes some large caliber revolvers that are "western" looking.

Fine firearms.



The ones I've seen in the .45 ACP caliber are single action only, unless I missed something.

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.

I got a Smith & Wesson 625 "Mountain Gun," a stainless steel SA/DA in
.45 Long Colt. It's a nice piece, and accurate. I've only shot it
once, about 100 rounds, which was pretty much all the ammo I could
find at that time. No personal vids, but I did find this one on
you-tube. Good luck with it!

Taurs' Judge is a 5 shot and S&W's Governor is a 6 shot, 20% more ammo.

You need a gun fund.

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.

"Western" revolvers were single action. That is part of the charm.
Personally I embraced the 20th century, starting around 1911 ;-)

I do have a Colt Frontier Scout .22 that is "western" but I usually
shoot rat shot out of it.


I like single action revolvers except when it comes to dumping out the
casings or inserting fresh rounds.

The S&W I have works SA or DA, but loads like other DA revolvers, with a
cylinder that hinges out.

In the later 1800's I think S&W had top break revolvers. They would shoot
the .44 rim fire cartridge.

Not all "western revolvers" were SA. There was the Starr DA in about 1858.
I think it had some feature that allowed you to load all 6 cylinders
safely.

It's not as common, but is available. Reloading does the trick.
