Reeder Custom Guns - Another 45LC

I picked this 45LC up from Gary several years ago and it quickly became my "go to" revolver. It has taken numerous deer, hogs, and even a black bear.
It originally came with laminated cherry grips, but I sent it to Nate to have a set of stag grips installed. I think they blend in with the gun a lot better. I also upgraded from the open sights to a Vortex Venom red dot.

.454’s are not really .45 Colts, are they?! The Jim Taylor “Reeder 20” is a very special gun with a story. I got it from Jim just before one of his Mozambique expeditions. I had a time regulating the fixed sights, but finally tuned it to a 300 gr. at 900 fps. I need to shoot something with it while I can still see a little. A .45 ACP extra cylinder sure would be fun too.

The other was a deal from fellow Misfit at a HHC. It’s a rare factory gun that needed very little to suit. I installed fiber optic front and rear sights. It not only shoots .45 Colt but also .45 ACP in full moon clips. I also found it manages .45 Win. Mag. in the clips as well. That round is basically “factory loaded” Ruger level fodder. It’s a 4” round butt frame as well. Pretty close to perfect for a big DA revolver. Not as slick as an old N-frame but it’s certainly more robust.

in the Grizzly. But in a revolver it is sort of a pain to reload. The factory puts a dab of glue on the inside of the mouth of the case to hold it in as crimping the 10mm case gives you a lot of problems. Some factory 10mm loaders also put the
glue on the mouth of the case to hold the bullet in.
