'Very few people under the age of 80 have .45 Long Colts around for protection! '

Hey I got one! Well under 80 but might be one of the few.

I used to have one as well - Colt single action 5 1/2" barrel - "The gun that won the west", and I still got a long way to go before I hit 80

I almost never fired it but loved it nevertheless. I understand they do not make them with the original action like that anymore - (you can hear the four clicks when you pull the hammer back) because of liability fears. I really hated to part with it when I left Canada for Asia.

However, it was not the gun I kept for protection - that was a customized gov't model, and I kinda doubt you keep yours for protection too!
