Laredo, I have a .22lr/mag that I picked up used for a very reasonable price. I didn't expect a lot at the time, but I find that it shoots as good as any .22 I own. It needed a little spring work to smooth it up. I put a spacer under the hammer spring and one of the new wire style trigger and bolt springs in it. I like it a lot now. I've thought about picking one up in .45 colt and someday hope to but my funds have been temporarly divirted to other guns. I was favorably impressed with my .22 and hope a .45 is comparable. Hope we both get some more feedback. You might also try the cowboy forum. 44 Man
