There is a lot of that going around...I don't even LIKE SAAs or clones there of. You have to do that knit-one-pearl two thing to load them. From what I see on the ranges, they do require more intensive up keep than I'm used to. The design was old when the N frame was young.
But Good Grief, look at the pictures! And every USFA revolver I've actually seen looked just like the pictures. They were beautiful and their timing was perfect.
I keep thinking...5.5" bbl, 45ACP, lanyard loop, "Smokless" frame, maybe some really cool grips (stocks?) with the Federal Eagle on one side and the Aztec Eagle on the other. When I was a kid, I saw that motif a lot, especially in South Texas.
I figure that would just about kill a $1500 bill, but that revolver would turn heads at the range.
