Real nice... a little sharper recoil than a .45Colt but that's from a faster burning powder if you shoot the hotter stuff... I like Golden Sabre 185's in my 1911's... and I have bunches of those on hand so that's what I stuff thru the 1873... I haven't tried .45 Supers yet... tho I might get a box just to see how they run in it... I haven't shot the .45Colt cylinder in it yet... no hurry since I don't have any .45Colt rounds on hand and I know what a 1873'll do with that... as far as accuracy... it'll print better than I can see and hold... but at social distances and "around the farm critter control" distances... it'll hit what I'm aiming at... the whole idea for me was to have a SAA revolver that can shoot what I have on hand for ammo and I have and had .45ACP's forever and a day ( a 1911 of one form or another has been my staple since the early 1970's )... a .45ACP SAA on one hip and a couple of .45ACP magazines in another pocket and I'm ready to "ride the farm" ... Hehehe... it'll play alternate to my .357 SAA Bounty Hunter that I normally use around the farm (easier to find .38/.357 shotshells than .45ACP shotshells)..
