I had one, a 1909 Army Colt .45. Robust revolver and pretty accurate too. The Army had a special ctg. built for it as they wanted a wider rim for more positive extraction. Regular .45 colt brass would not dump the empties as the gun should have. I sold it for a pretty penny though. Kinda miss that old girl, but, well, I've never been much on Colt revolvers - S & W is my cup of tea.
