The effectiveness of the .45 round versus the contemporary handgun and rifle rounds is also problematic. It seems the only really effective round was a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot.

Google Jan Libourel and Moros.
Didn't they reissue some old Colt SAA ,45s and a new .45 DA Colt 189something ?
