Oh, buddy! I know they're shooters, frontier gander. I made up a CVA version .45 cal about 30 yrs ago. It was a sweetie. Used to hang out on the dam at a erosion prevention lake and bust turtles in the creek below the dam with it. Within 75 yards, none of 'em were safe. Made mucho meat with it too.

Some goblin kicked my door in some 7 years later and stole it, along with an 1851 Navy, 1860 Army, 1858 Remington Army, Kentucky pistol, mountain pistol, TC Hawken, Springfield musket, Zouave Musket, (all replicas, of course) 20 ga Fox side by side and a Mini-14. I'd like to murder the thief over the Fox alone![:@] That was one of those once-in-a-lifetime shotguns that was always lined up perfect every time you shouldered it. But I never saw any of those guns again.[X(] And I never replaced any of them, until now.
