Hi Mike:

In .45 LC, the 25-5 Smith&Wesson is my favorite DAR. I had one for years. You can also fire .45 ACP with half moon clips that make up for the rimless case of the ACP. I now have a Ruger Blackhawk in L.C. It is a wonderful gun, and as you know it is a single action revolver. I have probobly 5,000+ rounds through the gun. The L.C. round is a great caliber for just about every need and can be loaded to produce some impressive energy at the expense of case life. One of my favorites is a 285 grain Linotype lead wad-cutter, loaded backwards over Hi-Score shotgun powder. It is a like a softball at about 880 FPS. Hits like a large brick thrown out of a huge sligshot. LOTS of smoke and pretty good flame thrower too. You can definitely hear the thud of what got hit. Sorry to blab on and on. I love the round.

Best regards

Glenn
