I have owned, or own, a M94 Winchester, M1894 Marlin, and a M92 Winchester (Miroku) all in .45 Colt. The slickest by far has been the M92, the one most likely to bobble was the M94, the best overall the M1894 Marlin. My first was the M94 Winchester, which is really the wrong action for a 45 Colt (too long, designed for 30/30, 38/55, etc., length cartridges). The Marlin works very well once it is slicked up and broken in. The M92 is the nicest, but also the most expensive and only available in limited runs of various configurations. The only one I own today is the M92.
