I've finally got a birdshead of my own after being inspired by all the beautiful revolvers pictured here. Mine is eleven years old, but was like new when I got it several weeks ago. I've enjoyed shooting it and have found that Federal's 45 Colt 225gr SWC HP load is easy shooting and hits to point of aim. It's my camp gun and rides comfortably in a crossdraw rig.

Those are nice, the .45ACP is pretty appealing. I know someone who has one & he carries spare ammo in a 1911 magazine. Compact, easy to get to, no rattling, & easy to carry.
