If you shoot a lot of .45 Colt cartridges out of a .45 calibre Model 83 you'll eventually encounter "difficult chambering" due to a build up of "crud" in the '83's extended, .454 Casull calibre chambers.
Solution? Purchase a second cylinder chambered for .45 Colt.
I have a couple Model 83's and cherish them dearly.
