I've started looking for a SA .45, because I'm old, and now naturally want to be a cowboy.
Rugers are unobtainium these days, and I'm hearing the Italian clones are very viable guns nowadays, so I'm looking at those.
The issue I'm running in to is trying to make sense of how the different models vary from each other; transfer bars, trick firing pins and traditional 'four-click' actions aren't really called out on the manufacturer's website, and seldom mentioned on their re-sellers (Taylor, Cimmaron) sites either.
And just for the record, I'm actually after a gun with a transfer bar (like the Ruger), just because it's 2022, and guns that aren't drop-safe aren't really that interesting to me at this point. Feel free to hate me for that.
Appreciate any help or pointers.
