I thank you kindly, sir. That is indeed a Colt's Single Action Army Revolver, "4th" Generation, chambered for the .44 WCF (aka .44/40) cartridge, which I also load in my Winchester 1873 model lever action rifle (a replica, not a real antique). I don't have a Colt's 1911 but I do have a Kimber Compact 1911 and it's a sweet shooter.

If the SAA is hitting high you must move to either a lighter bullet or a faster one, that will exit the barrel before the muzzle has raised so much under recoil. If you load your own cartridges, that's easy enough to do. I'd rather adjust my load than file the sights on such fine weapons as these!

I wish I had a shot of myself in my clergy garb, black coat, clergyman's collar, black leather and pistols. Talk about the Fear of the Lord....Cowboy Action Shooting is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

At any rate, you're looking good there and the pistol looks mighty fine too.
