Now, I ain't as good looking as Lee Martin. I ain't as young either. And I certainly didnt build this Bisley in my garage. On top of all that, there is no way my vision is as sharp as his, as I have the onset of cataracts. I dont even have my own website!!!! BUT, given good ammunition, and a good sixgun, a man can certainly get by!! 
I like 45 Colts. Always have. I dont find them as easy to make shoot across the board as the 44 magnum, but speaking for myself, I would rather shoot a heavy 45 load than a heavy 44 mag load. Here are 3 of mine, a full house Clements, a Harton, and my latest acquisiton, a Reeder Ultimate Bisley.
I also ain't much of a photographer, but then again, you can't see my toe bunions can ya?? This Reeder Ultimate Bisley is one I happened to have a chance to shoot a bit before I bought. It so happened that I didnt have any 45 Colt ammo with me, but I did have a more than a few fellows close by willing to share. Thus, I got to shoot a number of loads out of it. Initially, I wasnt doing well with the bead front and V rear. Ken ONeill came to my rescue with one of his trick front sights and a standard Ruger rear. Once I made that change, I couldnt seem to miss any steel I shot at. This particular gun is all Reeder. About all one could expect from a gun in this price range! Not everyone has 3500 PLUS dollars to spend on a "big" name sixgun. I like its heft, and in particular I like the way Reeders guys fit thier stocks. But most of all, I like the way it shoots. Now, as I said before, I aint no Lee Martin, and in my defense, it is blazing hot here in S. Texas and sweaty palms (and everything else) is a fact of shooting life here. I sincerely believe this gun is far more accurate than displayed here, I just couldnt hold/see it that day. About 1.25" at 25 yards:
More, this FIVE shot gun is just very well mannered. The gunfighter grip is very effective and comfortable. Pulling the base pin and checking the barrel I see a nice lube star on the muzzle and rifling that is sharp and clean. Here is the load I intend to run out of this gun. Keep in mind that my lot of WC820 may not be the same burn rate as yours. CCI 300, 24.0 of WC820, and a Mihec 297 grain Ruger Only GC hollowpoint.
This one is a keeper. Gary's crew has done a good job here. Expect to see some blood from this one as soon as it cools off.....
