Hi,
So i've really gotten into reloading 45 long colt...it's fun. Right now I'm using a S&W model 25-15 and old vaquero to empty my brass so i can reload again.
I don't do CAS...but my vaquero does reside in a mernickle holster.
I want a 45 LC, preferably lever action, to help me empty my brass, so I can reload, and empty more brass...
I thought I wanted a model 92, but today I looked at some model 1873's - an uberti and a berretta. It's the first time I've ever handled an 1873.
So I have a few questions:
1) Is the dust cover on the top of the receiver that moves backwards with the action until you're done shooting period correct?
2) Is the catch on the butt that swivels out of the way to hold the lever down when not in use correct?
3) Are the Uberti and Beretta's true toggle actions? How do they compare in strength with the pump actions in 45 long colt?
Thanks again for your expertise,
LW
