    I am thinking I need to add a .45 Long Colt to my active shooters and would like to hear some suggestions. Is there such a thing as a .45 LC Auto ?

    Why get an auto? I was mainly an autoloader shooter unless I set my eyes on my Ruger Bisley .45LC. It is twice as much fun and more accurate than my Browning Hi-Power. Plus I reload for cheap fun. Regarding your question, here is a link on the subject (no autoloaders in .45LC)

    Dunno of any .45lc autos, but the desert eagles can be had in .44mag. So can the mateba auto revolvers.

    As for non autos, I want a schofield somethin fierce.

    The only 45lc semiauto possibly is the Mateba Unica. The Webley Fosbery is no longer made, and if i remember can be seen in the movie the maltise falcon.

    STI is just 15 miles up the road from me and I've been lusting after one of these for years and finally bought one today.

    My dad gave me his Ruger Super Single Six (New model) with a 9.5" barrel with a nice holster about 10 years ago. It only has the .22 WMR mag. The .22 LR mag wasn't with it when he got it. I'm probably going to trade or sell it and get a better home defense pistol. Any recommendations? Don't really want to break the bank.
