Congrats!

Here's a link to the Brian Pearce article -- lots of great info there.

I have a standard butt 5 1/2" FA97 in .44 special -- it's one of the most accurate guns I own. I haven't found a bullet that can't be used in this gun.

Also have a 3 1/2" Round Butt .45 Colt/.45 ACP (was out shooting it w/.45 ACP cyl yesterday) and a 4 1/4" standard butt .45 Colt -- the FA97 is one of my favorites -- every time I pick one up, I just can't keep from smiling.

Enjoy!
