New Model 45LC / New to me!

[Webster1967]

Been looking locally for another 44 mag but had an offer for a 45LC I couldn’t turn down! Post 3 screw, pre warning label very low round count.

Cool! Looks like mine! I went and checked the shelf to make sure mine was still there? Price above or below $800?

Very nice and way more versatile

I almost hate to say but…..under $800

I paid $800 for mine with 1.5 boxes of vintage ammo. Since buying it I found out I should have asked the guy about the possibility of a 45ACP cylinder that it may have had originally. Oh Well!

Pretty sure no acp cylinder, but my brother is trying to talk me into selling this to him. He wants a convertible to go with his SR1911 full size!

You've got a fine firearm there. .45 Colt is my favorite big bore caliber. With the proper load you would be ready for anything.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Nice Ruger, my husband is another big fan of the caliber!

Nice 45, I kind of like 45 colts also. Have fun with it.
The two bottom ones grew up as 357 flattops but they also wanted to be 45 colts. So after a few $$$$ they now have big holes also :) :) :) :)

Heavy 45 Colt loads contain the most pure joy of any recoil therapy solutions readily available

 

[contender]

Kudos on a good find! Gotta lotta love for the .45 Colt myself!

 

[gnappi]

The old Colt is a fave of many. Used samples get snapped up really quick!

Very nice! I made a lowball bid on one just like that a little over a year ago, on GB. 1976 model with the 200th roll mark. Ended up winning it for $400. Lettered July 1976. It had an ugly dried out Pachy grip and a modified front sight. The grip was easy to fix. Mango by Chig’s. Contemplating the front sight issue… thinking of a brass bead. If that doesn’t work out I’ll see about sending it to Fermin.

I’ve had 44 mags so long I almost forgot how much I do like a 45. This actually being my second, had a Vaquero once. First time I had to learn about base pin jump.
I have or had a set of Ajax imitation ivory’s I think would dress up this thing a little bit?!?

 

[Rclark]

Nice! I'm a .45 Colt guy myself.... Only the .44 Special has 'almost' as much appeal to me. :) . Enjoy your new side arm.

My favorite whitetail handgun for many years is my Bisley .45 with a Tasco ProPoint dot scope mounted in a Wiegand base. Makes the heaviest loads pleasant to shoot, with accuracy much farther than I care to shoot. .44 Mag? Who needs it? ;-)
