If we are talking 45 Colt caliber here, there is one issue that seems to still exist with Colt SAA's. I have one and it is a terrific revolver with one problem, and that is the size of the cylinder throats. Why they can't get that right is beyond me. The Colt's throats are too large, which can only be fixed with a new cylinder. Spending $1200 for a gun that is difficult at best to get it to shoot accurately is a mystery.
The other caliber Colts don't seem to have the problem, so go figure.
Rugers all seem to have throats that are too small. Still aggravating, but an easy and in-expensive fix.
I don't own a FA 97 yet, bet I do have 83's and their throats are pretty much perfect. I bet the 97 is the same. I know for sure it danged well was not designed for CAS. Like C.R. pointed out, it has a 5 shot cylinder.
