I just received my first. It is a Classic Model 22 in .45acp. Is it very difficult to remove the IL device? I have placed the shim in 80 series Colt Gov't models in the past. I have not torn into the IL revolver yet.

I had rather have the old style and do have a 4" 1950 M&P .44 special. I will use it when I want, but rather shoot the more modern revolver on a regular basis.

This new pistol is very tight, the factory did an excellent job on bluing. I like it, but have not had a chance to fire it as yet.

Does anyone know if a new type 45 long colt cylinder can be fitted without a lot of problem to the revolver. I called and talked with a factory service rep. He said the factory does not do this anymore. Any comments appreciated, Bob in Texas
