Thanks for all the feedback folks!....I have owned a number of Ruger pistols, just not in .45 LC (but that might change soon also!)....I think I would like to get the FA 83 or 97...Looks like at least a 10 month wait according to the FA site, unless I find one that is already out there?....How does the dimensions of the .454 cylinder differ from the .45 LC?...Is it just where the throats begin?.....
