So, after all the drama thus far, answer me this: If I wanted to carry my .45 Colt New Service (somewhat marginally more strong than a Colt SAA), loaded with fairly stiff 255 grain semi-wadcutter handloads, out to distances at which I can consistently hit a softball sized target (say 30 yards)- would I be kidding myself? Note that I am not a pistolero, just a guy who dabbles with a couple Colts and who happens to be pretty good with this old New Service.
