Actually, I prefer clams on a red pie pizza.

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.

"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.

I've downsized a little in terms of numbers of firearms I have. I have
sold the ones that I either didn't particularly like or would rarely
use. Gone is the S&W Bodyguard. Nice carry sized pistol, but the ones
sold here in MA have a 10lb, v-e-r-y long trigger pull. Didn't like it
at all. Even at close range by the time the hammer releases, the barrel
would be pointed at the "bad guy's" feet due to the natural tendency to
pull the barrel down as you pull the l-o-n-g trigger pull.

Also sold the 1922 Pre-Woodsman Colt. Interesting handgun, but I am not
a collector. Got a decent offer for it, so it's gone.

I'll keep my favorite ... the Walther PPK/2. I'll also keep the
Performance Center S&W .357 Magnum, although I don't shoot that one
much. I'll also keep the Ruger SR22 for general plinking, and the S&W
Chief's Special 38 for night time home defense. Also will hold onto
the Ruger rifle.

I'd like to find a small carry size to replace the Bodyguard but the one
I want isn't legal in MA. Then again, I don't carry often anymore
either since I am not at the guitar shop with lots of cash on me.

One problem is the time of year. I don't go to the range much in the
winter because it's just too damn cold. They have an indoor range but
do not allow jacketed ammo. I really don't like the indoor range
anyway. Much rather be outside.

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