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