It arrived today! I'm glad I got the 45, it just looks right with the wide barrel. Brand new in the box, it's flawless. Haven't gotten to shoot it yet, but it looks great next to my Marlin 1895CB, and my 1874 guitar. I'll be making a range trip this Friday for sure, as my brother and I both have off, and he wants to sight in his new Savage 30-06. Hogs have a surprise coming this year.
One thing I've found a little troublesome is that the transfer bar seems to get caught up alot on the pin, which I think will work itself out as the bar gets tapered at the top from using it. Anyone have experience with this?
I'm sorta nervous about the recoil, as the ammo I've selected is a 325 grain at 1325 FPS, and a 260 grain at 1450 FPS, but I'm not a small guy, so I'm sure I'll manage, it's just alot more than I'm used to in a pistol.
