I turned down my chance at a Mt Gun a few years ago, one in 45 Colt even. Guy on AL had one for sale, but I was going to have to drive to Ardmore or PV, which is a 3 hr drive for me. I didn't go, and have kicked myself since. My only consolation is when I hear some of the S&W 45 Colts have varying throat dimension issues, and I tell myself that it would've shot poorly . I still can't get over the price no matter what though...$550!!
