This brings up another point. My first reaction to the above post was, "That would be awesome. I have a 45". Then I thought, "Why?". Do we really need the extra performance and cost? The vast majority of my bullets go through a sheet of paper then into a backstop. My 357 and 44 calibers kill deer handily. I believe they would work fine on two-legged varmints. Why should I pay more for a gun and loads?
