A local shop has a 7.5" U.S.A. Seville 44 magnum for sale for $290. It is blued steel and does not appear to have been fired much. The serail number is 44-015XX. Overall the condition is quite good. It has been collecting dust on the shelf (literally) and I bet that I could probably score it for $250 or less.
I have been wanting a .45LC Blackhawk for OH deer hunting, but just don't like the new model's safety system. I had come across several old models but they were WAY out of my price range. When I came across the Seville, it sparked a little interest.
I'm looking for a field gun for normal use, not collect and pamper. The gun seems to be well fit and timed (no range rod test) with an acceptable trigger. Is this a durable gun? I suspect it would see a few hundred rounds a year, mostly "slightly" down-loaded with a moderate amount of full-power stuff. Also, how fragile are the innards and are any replacement parts available? Does it use any internal safeties?
Are grips available for it? Do they interchange with other manufacturers?
I have never really been a fan of off-brands, but a little internet research revealed that these may be very good guns. I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks
