Congrats! You are on your way! Nothing better than a SA .45 Colt especially if you reload.... The .44 Special cartridge comes very close in SA... but just doesn't quite make the top grade

. It will always be the 'undersized' brother to the .45 Colt in my opinion. Only DA revolver I now own is a .44Spec Bulldog due to size for CC. My semi-autos (22s) don't get shot much. But the SA collection continues to grow (just picked up a .45 Colt Bisley on Saturday) and they get used a lot..... Conclusion: Ready for this? Be VERY careful.... This could be the start of a serious addiction. My addiction started as a teenager and I am now 48 and no sign of getting over it. Beware.
