Limited edition high polished s/s and factory faux ivories.  I've wanted one for 20 years, so finally got my wish.  ;)

Are you going to FONDLE that ROA all day, or are you going to shoot it?
If you shoot it.........please don't tell me, my heart will stop.  And you will be charged with murder......LOL
I'm glad your happy with it.

I won't tell you Bob, I'll let you agonize over it's pristine conditioning for a good bit.  Just avoid future posts, in case of targets being shown!   ::)

I have been some.  I priced several varieties, but decided that since I have my .45 LC blackhawk, I really don't need it.  I can find a better use for the $200-300 dollars than a cylinder I most likely won't use.  hehe

I'm having good luck with .452 conicals so far.  I have used .457 round balls, but they shave a bit of a ring off during seating.  I think the .457 is to guarantee that there's no airspace for a spark to jump to the next cylinder.  I have read of several getting good accuracy with .45 Colt cylinders though.  ;)
