 :)  I have had the same experience with the ASM. Beautiful slick action and very accurate. I thought the Cimmaron would have been better but the firing pin broke after 10 rounds got it fixed then broke the hand and the bolt leg the next cylinder full.

I have two of the ASM Richards conversions, both in 44 Colt.  One needed a bit of work the other is fine.  I load a 200 grain cast RNFP over a full casing of 2F (sometimes 3F).  Lots of fun.
