This is the ONLY thing about ROAs I dislike, that's why I keep putting off on buying another or S&B (when avialable).

The problem is not the revolver, it's the hamfisted operator, and in my defenc/se, it wasn't me, yer'onner. I loaned it to the guy next to me to Demonstrate and shoot so's I could load up and shoot a few Miniés from my Musketoon, he being a well-regarded shooter, and, like me, an NRA BP-qualified RCO.
I make a special thing of making certain sure that the lock is locked on every occasion I have for taking the cylinder out on the range, which, if I'm truthful, is not very often
If that's the only excuse you have for not buying a ROA then all I can say is that there are obviously way too many of them around where you are. Here in UK you CAN luck in, but usually expect to pay around the $850-900 - Vaquero versions even more.
That's what they run for (and more) here too mostly.

Thanks for the chart of production.
My two were made in 1974 and 1976. I bought mine (1974) nib while still living in Indianapolis from a little gun shop off Pendleton Pike on the east side of town. Every other weekend my wife and I would travel back to our hometown and I would shoot with my Dad. He liked mine so well he bought his own -1976 production.
When Dad passed I inherited his. I haven't had either out in some time, need to get them some exercise.

I've been trying to get ahold of one of these kits but no response from Belt mountain anyone know we're I can buy one of these or would anyone happen to have one they would sell?
I don't see the problem, loading .457 in mine is no issue.
.454 a tad easier.
Keeping in mind what people ask for these and what they get are two different things. I lot advertised high and they just expire and then repeat over and over as they never sell.
Both of mine were picked up at under $600. One was a 94 and not shot. The other a Centennial and shot some. I like the 94 better, the steel frame makes a bit of difference in how it shoots.
