[Trinimon]

I am telling myself, if one want a 45LC SSA for is herd, this Long Branch should satified this part of the herd, now Clay or Calvin you got seriously in my head... JP.

Congrats JP! Looking forward to that range review! Gotta luv old skool six shooters.

Nice grab JP, I thought long and hard about that one, if it weren't for my weakness of WWI and WWII pieces I may have beaten you to it. Some nice colt Clay keep them coming

I'm surprised the SCG is not sold yet, probably the price...if I didn't already have one in hard chrome, I would have been tempted.

I don't have one and I'm very tempted, with these you get what you pay for.

At that level I'd want a model with Bomar type sights. fixed sights on a $3k gun is a bit silly

I would have jumped on it had I not just bought a couple others. Though my preference would be for a chrome with bomars, these are so rare up here sometimes you need to compromise. I'm sure it is zeroed in at 15 or 25 and would come with a test target to verify.

The gutta percha is coming to daddy... JP.

To shoot or not to shoot...that is the question!

I dont buy it as a pottery, i will shoot it, that is sure but maybe i will be very carefull at the great nickel finish... JP.

Mmmm....I still prefer the look of the BoMar type.

You already know what fun 45Colt is to shoot. It would be hard to just look at that one.

Yep since my Toklat 454 Casull is such a pleasure to shoot and i was getting that Long Branch, my Flattop convertible was good to go to a new house...
45 LC is an awesome caliber... JP.

I'm hedging on a flat top 45 myself - the .357 version I got from PR is deadly, and very nice in the hand. I was not a huge fan of Blackhawks before that gun, and even had buyers remorse during the pre-order. Glad I gave it a chance!

1st rule....keep all copper solvents away from nickel finish.

Renaissance wax does a nice job on protecting and keeping it shiny.

OK

To keep it shiny and micro scratches away

 

[Mark-II]

Interesting... Are there chains that sell the wax or do you buy online?

Any good for gloss blue finishes or just natural metal?
