This bead is made from Copper and Brass and then tumbled making each unique. This is tumbled in a corn cob media like a case for reloading to polish yet leave to a satin finish. It will end your need to tie knots as the paracord ends slide thru and then are secured when you screw the two parts together.
The story of the name is from the old west. When a person wanted a pour of whiskey they would either pay or use a 45 colt. Thus...the shot was born.
