They can be changed of course but I've done work on a Walker with a Red Dot sight on it.

Eeeeh Gad ! I thought my additions a bit eccentric on a Walker ! I gotta see the holster. It would take a whole steer! Mine will only require half a steer.

I don't diss his work, although I have him on ignore. The reason being is his insistence that the open top is a stronger design which is patently ridiculous. There are numerous examples in other fields where "C" shaped presses etc. are not as strong as "O" frames.

Reading skills !!!!!! I said the open-top platform is stronger than the REMINGTON!! Never said it was THE strongest platform !!! Geeeesh !!!
And, THEY'RE BOTH "O's". "Are you really that dense" ?!!! ()
( it's your buddy's fault!! I've been telling him to quit calling them "open frames" . . . you're confused I bet . . . )

Beef up the open top all you want, I like them but they will never do what a top strap will do.

Oh my goodness, back on page "7" I listed a bunch of revolvers that can't (aren't safe to) shoot 23K psi ammo ( Brian Pearce's list, not mine) , but my 1860's are OPEN TOPS and they CAN!!! NEVER SAY NEVER!!! ( that's really why you put me in the "boo box" isn't it?!!) Reading comprehension is a tuffy I know . . .
I know my Dragoons are a good bit bigger than the SAA (not to mention the Ruger New Vaquero's) but hey . . . they're OPEN TOPS and they eat 45C +p's like candy!!! Never say nev . . . !

According to Wiki, Richard Casul, gunsmith, developed wildcat cartridges for the 45Colt looking for 2,000 feet/sec. He, along with two other men, in 1958 developed the 454 Casul. Freedom Arms in 1983 introduced a five shot revolver for the round.

I really don't understand the bitterness expressed towards 45D - then again, people do tend to get attached to their pet theories, rather than truth and facts.

I have no animosity toward 45D and am sure he is a fine gunsmith working on open tops...lots of people praise his work.

I wish he would come down from his high horse and admit reality, that's all.
