Boy, although I admire the .44 magnum, it's not the answer for all platforms. And there is a world of difference between "usable power" versus too much blast report, poor second shot response time, etc.

The .45 Colt in the Mountain Gun platform is probably the best combo ever. Low end, yet highly effective magnum performance, best snake shot capacity, and the fastest response for multiple shots, with a big bore, heavy weight bullet. What's not to like on a lightweight barrel frame?

And for those who go for "option B" .44 Special, the .45 Colt, with low pressure recoil, faster second shot response speed, and a bigger, more effective bullet, will win in this combo every time. Just ask the dead bear :-).

Oh, BTW, I'm a shooter, not a collector.
