It should be just fine.  I also have one I purchased two years ago, identical except a 5 1/2" barrel.  It's a dandy, too.  I would definitely recommend the Cimarron "Frontier" to anyone looking for a very nice looking well made reproduction of a Second Generation Colt. 

Here's a link to the skirmish and precision handgun

Fantastic convention.  Donna and I had a great time.

To General Pitspitr and ladies and gentlemen of the GAF;

  On March 29, 2025 at approximately 9 am, 8 troopers, and 6 scouts from the Division's of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Texas managed to defeat a much larger force of hostiles at Willow Hole near the settlement of North Zulch in Texas Territory.  During the engagement, rations were provided by the dedicated settler, Def Willie.

  This was the first time that 4 of the Scouts volunteered for service.  Each proved their merit.  Doc Bury'em and Dammit Dean demonstrated distinguished long range rifle marksmanship.

Yours in Service,

You actually need to google for commercial Loaders/Reloaders.  Without several millions of liability insurance, don't think yule have much luck.  I know I wouldn't trust just anyone who jumps out of the woodwork and says "Sure, I'll do it."

I can well understand moving from New Jersey.  Also makes good business sense to have all your resources in the same place.  Having to travel halfway across the country to have a nice face-to-face can be a real downer.

You gotta see the "younger" Imperato's race car!!  WOWZERS!!

these books are going for crazy prices, i think i bought the book for 75 dollars and i thought that was too much, the McDpwell book for maybe less than 100 signed by him at a gun show, the guy had a pile of them, lucky i guess...the probelm is that most are out of print and we're gettin older!

the Gun Show in Sturbridge Mass this summer usually has alot of older books and alot of big time collectors are there, if you live in New England..

Many thanks to Troy and Mary for hosting the Texas Muster! They did a great job planning and running a fun and well organized match.

PLUS ONE fer Abilene.  I would absolutely be looking at the back wall of the Carrier Block Mortice.  Should be a nice bevel there to assist the cartridge rim alignment as the carrier rises.  The quick little "work around" mentioned by Abilene is also spot on.

In this case, the price didn't change further. It (along with the other books in the lot) sold for $148.49 plus shipping.

I already have a copy of this book, but I'm also always on the lookout for copies being sold on eBay to pass on the information to others here.
