Yeah Cap!! What are you waiting on?!! 😂😂
Lighting. Usually, by the time I get around to "pitcher-takin' " it's dark outside and shots are taken inside with incandescent lighting and there is generally too much glare, shadows, and other things that make for poor photos with a cell phone. However, lack of pix doesn't deter me from bragging up one side and down the other about this gun. It is totally amazing, and fits me like a glove with that spacious Army grip and short, manageable barrel. Balance is near perfect. I already load .45LC, so this oughta be a no-brainer. This gun marks the transition between the open-top C&B Colt and the 1872-73 "Open Top" that proceeded the 1873 SAA, being a "Richards" factory-converted C&B Army grip and frame with conversion ring, bored through C&B cylinder, and new-style "S"-type barrel fitted with the Mason ejector...it marked Colt's decision to move forward with factory built metallic cartridge handguns as opposed to field conversions that were being done by independent gunsmiths at the time.
While the originals were produced in .44 Colt, I chose the .45 Colt chambering as it's probably the most common, works well with either my smokeless or black powder handloads, and fills a hole earmarked for a particular period of history. That, and the fact it's plain and simple, BADASS.
