These are all third gens that I've bought new, and they are all chambered in .45 Colt. They represent the three standard barrel lengths of 4 3/4", 5 1/2", and 7 1/2". They all get fired regularly with one of two of my hand loads: one uses the RCBS .45-270 SAA bullet over 17 grains of 2400, the other uses the Lyman 452664 over 40 grains of Goex FFFG.

The 4 3/4" gun has taken mule dear and antelope, plus a bunch of coyotes, rock chucks, and some grouse. I've had it for almost 30 years; the other two are newer, Turnbull finished specimens. I just got another new 4 3/4" as well.
