Have money burning a hole in my pocket. I'd put it out, but it keeps me warm.
Anyhow - I started out really wanting to get the new-ish Ruger Redhawk .45Colt/.45acp. I reload both calibers, and the appeal of having a DA/SA revolver that can actually shoot both calibers was a big selling point for me. I already own a Ruger Blackhawk conversion which shoots .45acp or .45Colt (cylinders must be swapped) and that is a very fun gun, but being a single action (and with a 7.5" hose on the end) effectively renders it to the status of range toy. The Redhawk, by virtue of its DA/SA mode, would be a serious contender for a nightstand gun.
However, I've heard some complaints about spotty QC on these guns, and then seen some YouTube videos explaining how, when firing .45Colt, the minor recess in the cylinder designed for the .45acp moon clips means that the case head isn't fully supported, resulting in a slight bulge near the rim which might shorten the life of .45Colt brass and also potentially result in a kB!
So now I'm also thinking of getting just a dedicated .45acp-only revolver such as the S&W 625 or 325. The 325 appeals to me for no other reason than "it looks very cool" Seriously, though - reviews of the 325 seem quite positive and it has a few features over the 625 which I think are neat.
Convince me to buy (another) .45 revolver
