Good! Hope you enjoy it. I like your idea

of using it as a five shot .45 "as needed".
So much to like about the whole .454/.480 project, from the "overnight" genesis to the circle of individuals involved, behind the curtain. Hey, look: gear to go!
I don't understand the weirdness of the ill-fitting grips. They seem to go in cycles. The .44 FT Bisley grips, blocky and otherwise mediocre, seemed to be well fitted. Mine has a weird little spot of chatoyance on the left side that looks like it's winking at me when I move it under the lights or sun. It's not enough to stave off a call to Mr. Dick for a set of his specials, though.
Look forward to shooting reports.
Got my 480 today!
Got my 480 today!
Outstanding! I have one on order with my LGS, buts a small shop and I doubt they'll get one unless Ruger really gets to cranking them out
I called in a favor.
Haven't shot it yet, but I am impressed. Metal to metal finish is way better than your average Ruger,grip fit isn't bad, B/C gap is very tight, lockup is very tight.
