I always wanted one so when a pristine 1983 made Colt Commander came around, I traded 2 collector's guns for it straight across.
First thing I did was work up a load for it.
Mixed brass, SAECO #68 230 gr rn, 5.0 gr ww231, Federal primers.
Every round is gauged before it goes into the ammo can.
Test fired 5 rounds...looked good....loaded and test fired 10-15 rounds.... everything functions fine. Loaded 1000 rounds.
Old Chinese saying: "......always load a few and test before starting the ammo factory going"....go ahead....ask me why I always test fire fair number before loading a ton.
Today I fired around 50 rounds. Everything functioned fine, but this gun gives a great example of hammer bite.
Love the gun and I expect to shoot the daylights out of this gun.
I need a beavertail safety.
Any recommendations and experience?
