Factory .45 Colt reminds me of the cap guns I had as a kid that shot cork balls.
Biggest BB gun shots out there.

Hot loading it and it's totally different.

Look like pretty mild loads. I like to shoot house rockers with my 92, nice potent thumpers. Doesn't bother it a bit. That steel crescent buttplate kinda makes my shoulder snivel though. But mild loads, it's like shooting a .22.

Love my 92! Recently bought a new Marlin 1894 in .44 mag, and the Rossi wins hands down, no comparison. Still haven't taken my Rossi apart for cleaning and polishing, it's worked great since day 1. The Marlin though, it's stripped at the moment with a whole punch list of issues to fix. Brand spanking new too.
