Just picked up the 3" yesterday.

I suspect that none of these are single action?

Oops you are right. They gone.

My favorite caliber has always been .45 Colt, and I have a few (although I shoot one of my Mark IIs far more frequently).

A 1971 vintage Blackhawk convertible:

A Lipsey's New Model Blackhawk Flat Top Convertible, with lighter Wolff springs and an SBF hammer, for easier one-handing:

A New Vaquero, with the classic Cavalry length barrel:

I am not a big fan of long guns, but I did follow Captain McNelly's lead and assemble this companion piece, with a custom 24" Match Grade Machine barrel:View attachment 13071
If the scope looks like it is set too far back, it's because I have it set for offhand shooting. You can't do much long range shooting at an indoor range. If I could take it outdoors, I would have to reset it.

I agree, love the .45 Colt!

I've already forgotten the rules for this thread, but thinking I'll post a bonus for single-action fans even though I already parted with all my FA:

Any contact info for grip maker JDowney?

I've wanted to take this photo for a while. Missing are my first pistol (Super Bearcat) and my Bearcat. My son has them with my two grandsons out at the range. The color case hardened Bisely Vaquero will be leaving soon for a trip out to TX for refinishing, tuning, and fitting of an OM .45ACP cylinder I picked up for it recently. From top left; Single Six stainless convertible, Lipsey's Flattop convertible 45LC/.45ACP, New Vaquero Birdshead .45LC. Top right; Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum (my first big-bore single action, bought from Stoney's Pistol Palace in Sarasota with an action job after seeing an article about them in Guns and Ammo while stationed in Korea, 1993), my aforementioned Vaquero Bisely in .45LC with new elk horn grips, a like new 1981 vintage Blackhawk convertible in .357 Magnum/9mm, and a Single-Seven in .327 Federal Magnum.
Next are my two Ruger double-actions, a .454 Casull Super Redhawk and a SP101 snubby in .357 Magnum. I bought these two as a package deal recently at an awesome price.
