I agree. I had a pair of Armi San Marco Type I Richards in .44 Colt (would not take Russian or Special). I was really excited, and loved them. Problem was, one worked perfect, and one worked 4 times out of 5... Tried replacing cylinder pawl (hand, trigger and cylinder lock (?). NOTHING WORKED. They were both incredibly accurate, and sweet to shoot, but I was soured on them . This was not long before ASM finally went belly up. Their Schofields were an absolute nightmare, btw.
If I didn't have the Schofield and Open Top in .45 already, I would have opted for .44 Colt/Special to be more correct, but I already load too many calibers... .45 Schofields will perform close to the .44 Colt, which actually has a .542 to .454" healed bullet, so just the case is wrong....
