I think Dick Tracy would want one of those. Look out Mumbles and Flat Top...

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I have clocked those rounds at 880-900 FPS out of 3.5 inch barrel Uberti SA using 8,5-8.7 Unique.
Can't wait to try these in the Bulldog!

If it's a 45 Colt, it can't be bad is my motto. :)

that's a pretty strong round .... a hundred or so FPS faster than a 240 gr bullet out of a 44 Special .... I'm looking forward to reading your felt recoil and barrel jump assessment
