Thank you. Have yet to shoot them but I do like how the pistol grip feels and looks. I do wish they made more regular offerings with the shot gun but stock however. Figured it best to get the first two in a caliber I already had (38,357), but since I opted for another I figured I would give the 45 Colt a go.

As I said, you're going to love the 45 Colt. Quite different than shooting a 357, but in a good way. Stay with cowboy loads or standard loads and start poking those big holes in paper. Lots of fun.

Do you think it really matters whether it is 200 Grain or 250 Grain if it's advertised as a Cowboy Load?.

Only matters for your POI and sight settings. The two loads will shoot to different points of impact. The 250s, though, are the traditional, standard bullet weight for the 45 Colt. Mostly what I've shot.
