What do you all think about the Umberti recreation of the Schofield .45? For whatever reason, I love this gun, probably from watching too many westerns.

This is not particularly a self-defense gun, although I suppose the .45LC would not be pleasant to be shot with.

I just think it's cool and want to hang it in a holster in my cabin the the moutains to counter-act the crap my wife is hanging up, and occassionaly go cowboy shoot with it.

I use Buffalo Bore 260 grs at 1500 fps and Corbon 300 grs at 1300 fps.

I am familiar with the specialty loads. Still, in general the .45 Colt is not in the same class as the .44 mag.

I hope to try my .44 on a hog one of these days.

If you get the chance may I suggest a cross draw holster for barrels over 6 inches, they sure keep that pistol out of the way.
