S&W Mountain Gun --- .45 Colt or .44 magnum?
« on: January 08, 2006, 07:10:53 PM »
Which caliber would you choose, and why?
I know the .45 Colt can be safely loaded "hotter" than a .44 magnum, if used in the right gun, but I don't think that it is a recommended practice for the S&W Mountain guns. So why would anybody prefer the .45 Colt over the .44 magnum in a S&W mountain gun, other than for nostalgia for a fine old cartidge?
Act the way you would like to be, and soon you will be the way you act.
