And Another...*

US Firearms. Commemorating the Lend-Lease Act that pretty much gave away whatever extra firearms we had, including single-action revolvers, so that the UK could fight Hitler. .45 ACP, and yes, revolvers chambered for such semi-auto rounds are less than accurate...most of the time. But the Lend-Lease Commemorative, for $1300 or so semolians, will do 2" at 20 yards from the offfhand and that's pretty decent. And no halfmoon clips necessary. Is it better than the new crop of SAA's? Can't say for certain because I haven't fired one, but they are strong handguns that should stand up to Ruger-Only loads. Then why not just find a used old model Vaquero, have a smith tune it and save a few hundred bucks? There's never a bad excuse for purchasing a new gun, so do both.
