In my search for a SA clone or original I stumbled on a Hammerli Virginian chambered in 45 Colt with a 5½" barrel. Did some research and knew I had something special here and even more so that this was a rare gun and even more rare in my country. I got up to the gunstore where it was listed inspected this beauty and immediately paid for it even before I filed all the paperwork for the permit. (There's no 2nd amendment in Belgium, unfortunately so waiting period for paperwork is up to 3 months and more )
I've been shooting it almost every time I go the the range ever since I had the paperwork come in and I just love this gun. It's accurate (only ever as accurate as I am ;-) ) , it's well made, nicely finished and works perfect. It pairs up nicely with my Colt SAA 38-40 from 1907.
If you love Single actions I guarantee you'll like it. Sure is worth going for one if the rare occasion comes along you'll find one for sale....
They come in 2 calibers 45 Colt and 357 magnum and 3 barrel lenghts blued barrel, color case hardened frame, nickel backstrap and trigger guard and one piece European (it's Swiss made) walnut grips....
Don't confuse it with the Hammerli Virginian Dragoon in 44mag.
