    Thanks. Back when we were all still men and had a sense of humor, I showed up at range qual wearing that rig with my uniform instead of my Sam Browne. Today I'd probably get a day or two suspension.

    I like 45 Colt single actions quite a lot. I have a couple Rugers I butchered up.

    Early type Vaquero with a few modifications,



    Older Blackhawk, made into a flat top and otherwise buggered up fairly extensively,



    Current favorite carry rig,



    Have a rifle in the same caliber, but have to say, I wish it were a 44. The chambers are pretty sloppy in most 45 rifles.



    I do have a Colt, but its not a 45 Colt,...or an SAA.

    Can I play, this is my little big bore after 50 rds of some black substitute with a improvised ejector.


    I wanted to drop some of its weight so I put an aluminum grip frame on it. This is what it looks like now.

    140 rounds, 100 of which were cowboy loads, 20 were Hornady Critical Defense and the last 20 were Winchester PDX 225 grain bonded JHP.

    Shoots to the sights with 250 grain cowboy loads, about an inch low with the PDX, and miles low with the 185 grain Critical Defense.

    It shoots pretty decent. That's about 1.2ish inches, off a rest at 15ish yards. With the sights as they are, I don't think I can do much better than that.

    I'm thinking that you probably don't need to do better than that.
