Dang Mike, if you buy one would you mind just picking up another and letting me use it for a while? That is a good looking pistolero....

I carry a 329pd Alaskan backpacker. It's a sweet little gun, super light and handles hot loads no problem.

I have a taurus titanium tracker in 45 lc with a 6.5 inch barrel. Very light and packs a punch!

How do 45 lc ballistics compare to the other calibers being discussed?

 :) .45 acp with 230 ball penetrates like crazy, does not expand at all, but a .45 inch hole is better than no hole I guess. :dunno:
In these guns I say cartridge does not matter, buy the gun you shoot "best and fast" and will carry all the time. Hundred foot pounds energy each shot means little compared to putting a mag load into a 6 inch target quickly at 50 feet.

load data for ruger and freedom arms shows about a 100 fps difference between the 45 colt and 44 mag with the mag being faster. for other 45 lc guns you are looking 300 fps slower.

It's all about Kinetic Energy, not FPS. You want a round that will hit whatever you're shooting at, like a sledge hammer.
