What a Hoot!
I recently traded for a Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt. I'd always wanted a .45 Colt revolver, this one was a good trade for another revolver that I didn't use much.
First thing I found out was that none of the local shops carry .45 Colt ammo. So, its to Midway for some brass, dies and some 250 grain lead bullets. Add some Unique powder and some Winchester primers & I'm off.
I really expected it to have a significant recoil, a big bullet and more powder than a .45 acp. Well the recoil was was quite controllable, the big revolver just rolls upward in the hand, and is positioned just right to re-cock the hammer.
Shooting this thing is just plain fun, it does not beat me up, has a satisfying thump when it goes off, is suitably accurate. It does not toss its fired brass all over the place to get lost. Why did I wait so long?
