I would appreciate any/ all opinions or experience with this newer introduction; I have always wanted one in .45 LC but the Italian stuff (although quality) did not do it for me. I realize it is of Japanese manufacture but all of the Miroku stuff that I have handled was of very high quality. Saw my first examples at Cabelas (three "Deluxe" models - one .45 LC and two .357/ 38 and one standard grade also in .357/ 38 - the Deluxe models were absolutely gorgeous rifles - the Deluxe model was 3k and the standard grade was $1,700). I really want to own one but have no comfort level with performance, durability, etc. Your thoughts? Thanks.
