Seems like every time I buy a vintage gun I really like -- like the S&W Model 28, or the Model 29 -- or in this case, a sweet Colt SAA, there's never any ammo in the pipeline for the caliber I picked. There is not a single box of Remington .45 Colt round nose lead out there anywhere. I knew there were ammo issues, but this has gone on too long. I could find 9, 40, or 45 if I wanted to, but revolver ammunition is impossible to locate. What's the deal anyway? Have mfgs given up...? Wrong season?
