It's a shame you couldn't just order some. Oh well, would've been cool, but we can't always get what we want.
Order some? Haha, there was nowhere to "order" anything back then.
I could buy .45 easily in town but the gun was so old I was afraid to try it.
I just figured the same source you ordered any other ammo you needed to restock would have .45 acp ... but it doesn't matter ... it's water under the bridge.
I thought about buying some on my own but the thing probably hadn't been fired since the fifties.
