Colt .45 and melon

[RustyGold]

Awesome first and last pic of the watermelon. I just bought a NAA Mini Revolver. I think I’d have to get right up to the belly of that WM to do that kind of shot.

My "watch"/fifth pocket of my jeans are all worn from an N.A.A. .22.

That last pic is cool. I got that older model Vaquero .45 with a 6 inch barrel and I don't think the cylinder quite lines up for reload. Is that a problem with yours?

Thanks RGINN, No I haven't noticed a problem with it.

I (well the seller/ shop)sent another older and well used Charter back to the factory when it was getting out of time. Came back all set .
I forget the name of the little "spur" on the lower frame that catches the cylinder cuts to stop revolution. That was my suspect.

Interchangeable (.22 lr vs .22 mag for example) and spare cylinders need checked for function. Not all are good to go without a tweak.
Yours might not have had quite enough inspection before it left the factory.
(No offence meant to Ruger. It can happen.)
