If the lever is open and the bolt is away from the chamber how can the round fire out of battery if the FIring pin can't reach the round? *Side Note* It's always polite to contact the manufacturer before going on public forums with unhappy rants. I always stand behind all my products and support SASS/shooters to the fullest. Slick.

Looks like fun.

That works about 1/2 of the time. Often more modification is nessicary.

+1 . If you want it to spin in both directions. Cock the hammer and remove the tiny allen screw and spring . It will then spin both ways .

They have a reverse pawl to help align the chambers with the loading gate. To get this alignment correct it has a spring loaded detent that engages the ratchet teeth. Cock the hammer and look in the hammer channel and you can see the set screw that holds in the spring and detent. If you remove the detent in many cases the reverse pawl will work. In some cases it may require a little more work for it to allow the cylinder to turn fully backwards. Two reasons are typically given for removing the detent. First, if you have a high primer sometimes you can back it up far enough to clear the jam. Key word, sometimes. Checking for high primers is not something people should be doing while firing or at the loading table. It should be done at home as part of your ammo inspection. The second reason is that it might help with a reload. For the past several years reloads on-the-clock have become more and more rare at SASS matches, especially matches above the club level. Even with the reverse feature a lot of people screw up the reload anyway because they don't practice reloads. So, for 99.9% of shooters the reverse spin is of little or no value.

I disagree with your second statement. TC won a court case years ago about contenders, people would take the pistol frame and put the carbine stock and barrel on, BATF said you could not go back to a pistol if you did that. TC sued and won, court ruled the original condition of the gun is all that maters. You can turn a pistol into a rifle and back to a pistol, but if it came from the factory as a rifle it is always a rifle. Uberti used to make a buntline with a detachable stock, with the stock off it's a pistol, on it's a rifle, go back and forth as much as you want. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/607462200 That said I'm with Pat Riot, I'd only buy one from the factory.

Colt calls it .45 Colt. They developed it. Maybe they just don't know what they are talking about.

So after Christmas I went to Bass Pro Shops and bought two cases of Remington STS on sale for seventy-five bucks each. Had a gift card from the in-laws for fifty bucks which brought my investment down to fifty bucks a case. I think I'll shoot those and then reload 'em a bunch of times. You guys work too hard.

What's hard to get is the cardboard boxes. I scrounge all of those I find. It's again' my religion to buy cardboard boxes.

Price ?

The moral(e) of this post is that you can never please management. If you actually did please them once, the bar is now raised to a completely unachievable level.

As a Christmas present, my lovely wife took me down to CLASSIC LEATHER WORKS to meet with Half-Breed Don to have my custom leatherwork done. Don came highly recommended by: After spending considerable time talking about the different styles and showing me the methods he uses to ensure a quality product, along with what I was looking for in a set of holsters, a final decision was made. Just recently they were completed, and I couldn't be more pleased with their construction and how they look, as they exceeded not only my expectations of what they would eventually look like, but they fit my alias perfectly. See for yourself: Thanks Don for the beautiful craftsmanship. A true artist. ​Thank you Jersey Bird & Cypress Sam for recommending Don. And Lots of Hugs and Kisses for my lovely wife. I'm ready to shoot!!!!
