Smith Model 25. Had one a while back. Overall it's the best.
Sold it because I ended up not liking the barrel length on that particular gun. If you're wanting to shoot +p ammo, then the Smith won't hold up forever. The cylinder walls are too thin.
If you plan on shooting +p ammo, then go with a Ruger Redhawk. The cylinder walls are thick enough to handle extended +p loads. But if you're going to limit yourself to factory loads, the Model 25 is the way to go.
Just went and checked on Rugers website well was already there window shopping anyway but here is this modern double action that is chambered for 45 colt http://www.ruger.com/products/redhawk/sp...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
