Not much love in 1950, not much more now, it seems.
The Model of 1950 .45 Target (pre-26) with it's light barrel didn't garner much respect until it morphed into the Model of 1955 (pre-25) with it's heavy barrel. From what I've read, the Model of 1950 simply did not perform very well as a target gun and did not sell well. Although not many were manufactured, prices for the Model of 1950 .45 are reasonable, especially in shooter-grade. I purchased my fairly-decent shooter-grade a couple of years ago for $750. The .45 Targets I have seen tend to sell for less than half the cost of equivalent copies of the Model of 1950 .44 Special Targets (pre-24).
