Yup new models are much nicer in that the firing pin is replaceable in 2 minutes if need be. Simple simple simple. Go w the model 83. Itll let ya ring out the 45 colt for everything its worth and then some. Then ya still got 454. Easy choice imho. Congrats!!!
I agree. If you search enough I think you can find an 83 and send it in for a 45 Colt cylinder, trigger job and still come under the wire than for a new one. Good hunting
