Here are some real "wrist rockets" for the .45 colt:

Good Luck...

I walked into a gunstore, and there was a S&W model 29-2 like new in the box for $200.

I asked the owner, "What's with this price?"
He said, "It is on consignment. He was just here, and he wants it to sell right away."
I said, "Sold."

People told me that Smiths fall appart with full house loads.

I have always fed that pistol a steady diet of 240 gr JHP and 24 gr H110. They clock at 1450 fps.

Years have gone by.

When people see my 29, they can't find anything wrong with it. [unlike my other guns]

For both calibers, 21.5gr of H110 under 300gr hard cast bullets. 1,200-1,300 fps and very accurate.
