I have finally saved enough money to purchase a premier grade Freedom Arms! I have decided to try and find a pistol in .454, with an extra cylinder in .45 colt or .45 acp....But if I find a FA97 in .45 colt with a .45 acp cylinder that would be great too!...I was going to purchase the new Ruger 5.5" Bisley convertible, but on the two guns I was able to put in my hands, the fit and finish of the grips on the grip frame at the top of the back strap was so bad that I would have cut my hand during recoil! I then decided I didn't want a diamond in the rough, I want a diamond!....So now that I know I want a FA, are there any preferable years of manufacture? Any thing to look for or avoid?...For example, I have read about different firing pins? Was one better than the other?..Thanks everyone for your input, it is very much appreciated!
