Very cool 8-) .45 Ruger revolver. And especially so since it carries really exceptionally sharp-looking wood grips. Definitely looking forward to the photo with the Henry LC rifle.

Great choices.....enjoy! :)

My next purchase will probably be https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/pro ... s_id/70176 It will be after I get the Winchester out of layaway.

Jake, I agree with your choice wholeheartedly. That revolver just speaks to me.

Leonardo, damned fine pistol!

Love that stubby Bisley. Very cool.

I've owned a Blackhawk in 45 Colt/45ACP. It was wonderfully accurate both the 45 Colt and the 45 ACP. Loved shooting both cartridges, but especially the 45 ACP because it was cheap to shoot. That was one Ruger I should have kept. Oh, well.

I have a Henry in 45 Colt. It goes along great with my Rossi 1892.

I have one Leonardo and love it. Mine is the 5 inch barrel. Like NCG said the 45 acp cylinder that goes with that gun is a hoot to shoot. The accuracy of it really took me by surprise. I just went out and bought the 357 9mm convertible also. Looking forward to shooting it.
