Nice!
Looks similar to the one in your avatar, except that one is hammerless.

ETA: and it shoots even better than it looks.

Very spiffy. I tend to lean towards pistols and 1911s but keep thinking I need a revolver one of these days and something .45acp seems like it could be a good compromise. Does the JM stand for Jerry Michulek?

And with this gun, I shoot just like he does. Except much slower and less accurately. Much.
(It's really very accurate, and points very nicely for me. But ...)

Great choice Joel.
If I needed or wanted a 45 gun, the JM 45 would be my choice.

Congrats, I thought that Cyl looked. . short and fat. Is that a Tritium front sight and a blade rear? Or is that a fron fiber optic? LOVE the grips, those are pretty!

I've got a fair amount of auto rim for my Webleys and 1917s if you want to try some.
Tom C can reload us some more, since I save the brass.
