When I started Cowboy Action Shooting in '94, I had a new Winchester in .45 Colt. I broke it in 4 shoots. The dealer sent it back and gave me a new "New" '94. It broke before the first one got back from the factory.
I paid cash for a new ( pre-safety) Rossi in .45 Colt for my next shoot. I still have it. No problems. It gets smoother with age and use. I load 250 gr. LRNFP for it over 7 grains of Unque, and it hasn't failed to perform....with original sights.
