This .45 Kurtz round is DOA. If you can find it on the shelves of your local gun store in 5 years I'll be amazed.

At the TOP of my list of guns I kick myself for selling is my Colt ltwt Commander! Slicked up, beavertail, extended safety, checkered forestrap. What a dummy to sell that great pistol!

My Commander is a stainless version.

God, I love it.I bought it in the early 80's for the ridiculous prices of $390 US. All I've really added is a set of Hogues, a titanium firing pin, and an extended Wilson slide release.

The mags are also by Wilson. I've built up a really nice load for it over the years. The 230 grain Gold Dot over 4.9 grains of Bullseye. It goes 'bang' every time I pull the trigger.

You know, I've probably shot hundreds of pistols in my life and there are lots of them I'd love to own. Sigs, CZ's, Kimbers, and HKs all spring to mind. But, when I really think about it, I've already got one I love. So I just mostly spend my dough on the occasional rifle and reloading supplies.

Besides, I'm just old fashioned enough that I won't bet my life on any autoloading pistol not designed by John Moses Browning.

The pretty much narrows things down now don't it.

Merry Christmas Travis.

Regards,

L
