Well put Grizz, but look at it this way also, who says that the wiz bang hi cap un-mentionables ( Like them also and competed for years) will be around much longer, so with a ruger or remmy and the current situation in getting one (no A.T.F.) and a un-mentionable set up ( no paper work shipped right too your door) your still in the game, also they are a good shoot, lead bullet (cast your own)some black powder a primer and one other componet your ready too go especially if you roll your own fodder at about 45 cents a shot or less versus almost a buck a shot for quality other pistol ammo. As too liking the ruger it is a stout no non-sense revolver that with proper care will last forever, it is a true 45 cal. and a excellent shooter straight out of the box, with that being said I have one and also a 58 remmy as well. use them all and enjoy them all, but when hunting I carry the ruger loaded for bear as they frequent the area I hunt. Big hole lots of power never had to use it and hopefully never will but one cannot be too careful. As too the re-loads you mentioned got a drill for you too try out with your buck a shot pistols --5yd yard line square too the target (shilloute) from the holster draw fire 6 shots one hand hold, do a re-load while transitioning too support hand one hand hold fire 3 shots 7 sec. all point or instinctive shooting, all shots must be in the 8 or less ring too pass. Thats heart beat shooting. Happy shooting.
