·Which caliber is more potent, 45 long colt or 44 special?
What is cheaper factory ammo?45lc, however a 44 mag will smoke it pretty badly.
i've never actually shot a 45lc my self though.
I did check a few weeks ago on the 45 long colt and it was expensive, just wondering which one might be better for ammo costs also.oh, someone else will have to field that question im guessing the 45lc but i've never priced it because i dont have one.
Didn't know 454 could load 45 LC, thats nice to know. And dang, S&W sure knows how to make a gun.Get a ....454 Casull. Then you will have more power than a 44 and be able to shoot 45LC.
Or a S&W 460. Then you could shoot .460, .454 casull & 45LC. One gun does it all.
This all depends on who you ask. The Ruger Super Redhawk 454 is stamped that it will fire either 454 or 45lc, however when I called Taurus, the person I spoke to was just in the customer service section, not an engineer, and said as far as he's ever been told, it is not rtecommended to shoot 45lc in the 454 unless the firearm is designed to do both, and that the Taurus is not.Didn't know 454 could load 45 LC, thats nice to know.

I was thinking .44 mag also, but no one else had mentioned itNow, if it were me looking to buy a gun in either caliber I'd pick
a 44Mag.....It shoots the 44SPL, and when needed you'll have the ability to shoot the 44Mag.
That's kinda the responce I was looking for, I had found two revolvers in the pawn shop for a reasonable price and liked both.I believe they both will kill anything quite dead if you hit center mass
Well I am fond of larger calibers, I do own a C9 9mm but I would grab my JCP 40 quicker than my 9mm, that's the reason I bought it.Honestly, the one YOU shoot better with.
It may sound tired, but any caliber you hit with will be better than one you miss with. One you shoot more accurately with will be better than one you don't.
There's a lot of dismissove talk about 9mm, but the ammo is still cheap enough I can practice a LOT. By my figuring, that will more than make up for the theoretical stopping power difference between it and a larger caliber (at least in most SD situations I can think of).
I now also have a .45 ACP 1911. I'll shoot it a bit, but it won't be a primary defense gun for quite a while until I have good technique with it which will take longer as I won't be shooting it as much (at least not at this time).
