My S&W Model 625 Mountain Gun is my favorite 45 Colt chambered handgun. I also really like my Ruger Bisley 45 Colt.

Me three. Like you folks, I'm a man of simple tastes. I bought mine in 2003 or so. It still shoots very well.

The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge

The only 45 Colt I have ever owned.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x439/rugershooter1/02CD1550-3401-4AA9-A983-17B778298F5A.jpg) If you don't mind me asking how long is the barrel on your .45, and is that a factory production gun? 12dogs, the barrel is 4.2" on that Redhawk, and yes, it is totally factory production. Ruger re-started production of the Redhawks around the first of the year. It did come with the rubber grips which I changed out as soon as I got it home. They just didn't feel right to me since my other Redhawks have the factory wood grips.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I hope in the spring, after tax season, to order out of the Colt custom shop a 7-1/2" black powder frame with some extras in .45 Colt for black powder shooting. That will be my favorite six shooter if it comes off.

An unassuming 4 5/8" Ruger Blackhawk - reworked by Bowen.
Shoots like the shooter knows what he's doing!

shrapnel,
Beautiful SAAs, but how are you mounting them? Is that a wall mount?
TIA

![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/549/medium/677245_Blackhawk.JPG) I like which ever one has at least 1800 grains of lead and 130 grains of W296 in the cylinder�..
