Hi shoot2kill,
That is one lovely old Colt.
I would not change anything about it.
Mine, was pitted and had been roughly sanded on, and did not have a mellow honest 'patina' on it, or I would have left it be, even if maybe still going the modifications I did, if it had been mellow and 'grey' I would have left that be, and not re-blued it.
Recoil wise, mine is kinda hefty...seems to me anyway ( or to others who have shot it ).
I need to re-load for mine deferentially though, I just realized recently, since the Barrel Bore and Cylinder Bores are too large for .45 ACP as it usually is.
So...fatter Bullets for this one!
