This is Gary. I previously joined the S&W discussion board and then this one when it was recommended. I joined the S&W board after purchasing a .460 magnum. Really pleased with it so far. I've never carried a handgun deer hunting, but am going to give this one a try I think. I mostly shoot at a local indoor range, Eagle Guns. My mainstay is a Uberti Mdl 1873 .45, can you tell I like .45s? Also mix it up with a few others. Enjoying retirement at 69 now.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina.
Tell us more about your Uberti Model 1873. Is it 45 Long Colt? I bet it's fun on Range Day.

Yep, .45 Colt. I put a set of Wolf springs in it which was definitly an improvement. You can't beat it as long as you stay with cowboy loads.

What brand and grain .45 LC are you using in the Uberti?
Take a look at Cochise Leather Company.
