The target in my avatar was shot with those, one handed at 50' from that same 4" 29-2.

I consider the .45acp and the .44 Special (with modern self-defense loads) interchangeable. Of course you could always get yourself a 4" Redhawk in .45acp.
Reminds me of the story when someone poo-poo'd my bud's 9mm for SD.Said that he needed a .45.My friend's response? "After I put two in your forehead,you won't know the difference."
