O.M. 45 Colt - A gun of contention...
Monday, November 12, 2018, 12:48

Bought this gun off the forum a year ago. NIB Old Model 45 Blackhawk Convertible.

All the things I like gun. Caliber, counterbored chambers, zero barrel gap. Tight throats at .449-.450" that I opened to .452".

The gun did not need an action job. Added Belt Mountain #5 Base Pin and Badger Oak Grips.

Then it started. Many nasty emails and messages regarding the collecting value of this gun. Up to and including telling me that somebody like me didn't deserve such a gun. I laughed it off while loading ammo. I finished it up last night and will shoot when weather and time allows. I'm not a collector and no safe queens here.
