.45 Colt is such a wonderful cartridge. A pleasure to shoot and to reload. And nicely variable in performance.
I sold this 625 earlier this year because I wanted to thin the herd a bit and this gun was a little too special to use as a regular shooter. I will probably replace it with a 625 that isn't quite so "special". I was stunned by what it sold for, but when you have two bidders who want a very scarce item dearly and they're both determined and well-heeled, amazing things can happen.
I have a Puma '92 chambered in .454 Casull/.45 Colt which is a sweet little 16" Trapper.
Great thread!
