Got my '71 yesterday. Very excited. :D
The action is a little rough, but I'm working it out. Bought a reduced main spring, but haven't installed it yet. Dang these are purty guns!

So far, so good. Got the reduced main spring in, which made a difference. Haven't noticed any peening (sp?) on the cylinder, so it may not have to rush right out to a gunsmith.
I've been perusing all the useful info on this forum in anticipation of this gun. There's some seriously knowledgeable folks here!

Messerist: .45...sorry for the delayed response.
Refinished the grips yesterday. Stripped all the urethane off, hit them with a little Fiebings med. brown dye, and then three coats of Tru Oil.
