Not sure, I have a few different loads to choose from.
There ae some 6.5 gr Red dot loads that should work, and believe I have some 8.0 gr Unique and some 200 gr RFN.
I have some stouter loads but will save those for the Rugers and carbines. ;)
May have time this afternoon for a little shake down.

The trigger isn't near a nice as the Rugers, but it is new and should smooth up as I use it, or at least I hope so.

That's a good looking firearm. It's going to fun to put a few rounds downrange with that. 45 Colt is one of my favorite rounds. Once you start shooting, it's hard to put down. Congrats on your find.

It just followed you right out of the store,? Disgraceful! You'd think they'd have security for that.. :lol:
Congratulations Randy. Nice gun. The box top got my attention.
Thought of Mark & Doc, immediately.

Nice catch Randy! Does that one have the spring loaded firing pin with 3 click action? You can slick them up a bit with a spring kit and usual polishing.
200-250 gr. bullet with 8.0 Unique and that Red Dot load work very well!

That is a beauty Sir. I try hard not to actually touch a handgun that looks way too nice in the case. They tend to follow me home. I own at least seven guns that would have been sold to someone else if I hadn’t succumbed to the siren call of the seductress of gunpowder and lead. Love my Uberti six shooter and have no doubt that you will enjoy your new seductress.

Ok, I'm to try this one more time, dang internet has been iffy the past 2 days.

Yes Forty it does have the 3 clicks, I plan on putting some rounds down range before I attempt in mods.
Hard to get away from these two grandsons at the moment though.

Good one Seabee, and I totally agree, but the counter gut and myself were talking ammo.
While doing so I was kinda glancing back and forth and the case coloring got my attention.
Then... made the mistake of asking to fondle it.
And the rest is history, I'll try and sneak out one day this week and give it a spin.
