    Backorder at the moment, but I have bought it from them before.

    I don't have Wildey, had one on order and got tired of waiting on them. I have an LAR Grizzly in .45 WM.

    I just tried it out. https://youtu.be/zFiz7NaZSl0 Works just fine.
    I find the gun needs a slide hold open. It requires a lot of force to chamber a round while pointing the gun down range. The edges of the slide are sharp and the slide is wide. Also the grip requires large hands (I have). The current gray sight is hard to see on paper targets. Other sight options exist however. Once I set the gas feed properly I ran through a half dozen rounds almost as fast as I could with my Glock 17. I experienced no misfires or jams.
    If I was being attacked by a herd of Kodiak bear, this would be my preferred back up gun when the M-60 ran out of ammunition.

ID:	257253Read every post, no one mentioned Charles Bronson, Death Wish 3 as Paul Kersey, someone can correct me on the number. I think they even showed him handloading for his Wildey. Cool. Had to have been a Cool Guy. R I P

    While I don't have a Wildey pistol, I do have a 10.5" DI AR15 and love the 45 win mag round.it shoots everything from 185gr to 350gr (.458 bullets swaged down to .451) I have been thinking about building an AR upper in 475 Wildey as well just haven't ordered a reamer yet, then got to figure out dies to load them with.

    To me Wildey looks cool, after all good enough for Chuck Bronson, right?
    I bought a Grizzly in 45 mag 6" barrel. Accurate, reliable, 10 mm barrel. Anyways I like the 45 mag just seems versatile.
