Some really good points guys. I spoke to jack last night and I think I'll be sending him along the donar gun and have him get to work. I didn't realize that linebaugh is three years out or more! His guns are nice but I'll not wait that long. I'd forget I owned it and be out buying another something else.

As to caliber, everyone here brought up some good points and thoughts that made sense I thought when I fell asleep last night that I had decided on the caliber for sure and now as I wake up, I'm not so sure. As to the folks on the 45 colt side, you are right about the colt, it's great. I just feel like I need something a little bit "more". The colt is not lacking in any way.

Remaining question, 500 linebaugh, 500 JRH (I'm leaning that way) or 475. And no, I cannot afford all three at the moment and remain married. And yes, I loooove the wife.
