Analysis

This single-action revolver in .45 Colt caliber offers a compelling blend of historical design and practical performance. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges when paired with quality ammunition, making it suitable for both casual plinking and competitive shooting. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, with a grip that facilitates a natural point of aim. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism operates smoothly under regular use, provided proper care is maintained. However, maintenance can be demanding, requiring meticulous cleaning to prevent buildup in the cylinder and action. Parts availability may pose challenges, especially for less common repairs, potentially frustrating some owners. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which aids precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for experienced shooters but possibly stout for novices, especially with hotter loads.
