45 Acp Pistol question

[latisimusd]

Have a hankerin for a wheel gun and am thinking about a 4-6" 45 ACP revolver. Any opinions about one brand over another and who carries a good selection of them in Mid-TN area?

Thanks

Go with a S&W for a 45 ACP revolver. Smith has always made quality revolvers, semi-autos not so much. Depending on what you want to spend, Smith has a Jerry Miculek model that is awesome.

I've been over a new Smith model 22 in 45 ACP. I dunno what it is, but I think with a quick front sight change it would be an ideal carry revolver, and general fun gun.

I wanted the same thing, a nice .45acp s&w wheelgun. Ultimately, I settled for a 629 in .44 mag. I didn't want some unobtanium light weight alloy, wanted adjustable red ramp sights, wanted a 4 - 4 1/2" barrel...couldn't find it in a .45acp. I'm pretty happy with the 629...its a 4". It's stainless, and I don't like that, but otherwise it handles pretty good for a large frame. Same weight/size as a similar handgun in .45acp, assuming they built one.

You can handload it to match 45acp +p exactly. If you don't handload, factory .44 is a beast, in both recoil and price, so that might kill it for you.

If you get one, post back. Be nice to know what features you wanted and what you got.
