First of all I want to say thanks to all of you.

Then I think it's amusing that I live in Italy and I'm looking for a Colt SA revolver, while almost all of you mentioned Pietta and other italian clones of Colt.
I don't want to sound "snobby" but I always tend to prefer to get "the original".
In fact I was considering buying the second revolver I pictured above, the one without box, it's a 2nd generation made in 1968 still in excellent conditions, BUT its caliber is .357 Mag.
I'm a reloader, in the last 12 years I'm sure I've reloaded thousands and thousands of cartridges especially .45 ACP, but also .40 S&W, 9x21 IMI, 38 Spl, .357 Mag. and some 308 Winch.
Now I don't really know what to do, I think I'll perhaps wait until I find a 2nd generation cal 45 LC

Thanks again!

Sergio
