I have a Uberti replica of the Colt SAA with interchangeable cylinders in 44 Mag & .44-40. It is no problem to either load >44 spl shells n the mag cylinder or load them mag brass down to 44 spl levels. This allows me to load about any level of .44 ammo I might desire. When I acquired it a co-worker had a 2nd generation original Colt SAA, I believe was in .45 Colt. This Uberti was as smooth & seemed of equal quality with the @nd generation Colt. No doubt a pre WWII 1st generation Colt would be better, but this Uberti stacked o extremely well against the 2nd generation Colt.

I read someplace that the .44-40 was used more than any other to put men six feet under in the Old West. Good caliber to own. I always wanted Colt .45 six shot military revolver. It was the most powerful handgun used by US Military 255gr at about 950fps if I recall correctly. Never seem to find good clean one and the few I have examined had issues preventing me from buying them. Old vintage revolvers are nice to own because they haven't improved over the years except in more advanced manufacturing procedures making them cheaper to make. What you read in gun magazines as improved in reality means cheaper to make.

Hahaha, now the pathetic tire-kicker and gun counter drooler Jagermeister, who doesn't own even one lousy double shotgun, is fantasizing about a Colt .45 military revolver.

I think we all know how that fairy tale ends...
