I have several 45 colt chambered revolvers , 2 smiths , 25-5 , 25-10 . The latter I had to change out the front sight as I couldn't screw down the rear sight enough for 255swc cast bullets . The 25-5 is pure joy to shoot (even with the oversize cylinder throats) , increditably accurate . I size my cast bullets .454 for both .
I have an old model ruger vaquero in 45 Colt ( built on the 44 magnum frame ) . It is like new and just sits in the box .
