I've always had a thing for single action revolvers, and have wanted a .45 Colt one for most of that time. But every time I got into a gun shop looking at them, I would talk myself into a .357 Magnum one, because I already had plenty of ammo for it. So I finally decided that I was going to get my first .45 Colt one, and after browsing through my favorite gun shop and doing reading some online reviews, last week I bought my first Heritage Arms Big Bore .45 Colt.
All blue with walnut grips and 5.5” barrel.
I headed out to shoot it for the first time yesterday with some UltraMax 250gr RNFP and MagTech 250gr LFN.
I ran a few cylinders of each through it to get a feel for it, and noticed right off, that it was putting both fairly close to POA at 15 yards. After about 25 rounds of each, I settled down to try for some good 5 shot groups with a two hand unrested hold, and was really happy with it.
Targets were regular paper plates with Beachwood/Casey “Target Dots” in the center, that are 1 1/2” across.
The MagTech ammo shot a slightly wider group, with the first shot being a flyer that was the shooters fault! (As I was lining up the sights, I accidentally pulled the trigger to soon)
The UltraMax ammo was just perfect, dead on POA.
I really like this pistol!
