Biker, I carry mine in a Don Hume beltside. I keep her loaded with Winchester Super X 225gr. Silvertip HP's. I may, however, swap to Buffalo Bore. I really like the gun; I use it as my warm weather carry gun.

Ditto. The .45 Colt is one versatile cartridge!

Why, all of the above of course, even including the last one albeit only technically. I often use the .45 Colt to boost my machismo, however I don't mean the cartridge. I find that stuffing a Single Action Army all the way down the front of my britches does an admirable job of filling space that's otherwise been left empty for unfair reasons.
I guess I should point out UNLOADED, of course, or the space would be empty for much more unfortunate reasons.

You forgot the option "All of the above" before the no purpose option. I can think of a wide variety of "uses for 45 Colt.

To ebdio 10 Yep, those N will take a bit and so does a Ruger
Convertable 45ACP/ 45 LC. The 45 LC is even more awsome
than my 44 Ruger with a bigger chunk of lead.
A walk around than might even be a survival tool is a
Contender single shot that has a screw in choke for shot. It
has to be removed for the 45 LC. Had the chamber lengthened
to also chamber .410 shotshells (3"). Both are a handful, but the
shot pattern is dense to 50 ft and with the choke removed, 45
pretty accurate. Haven't thought about it much, but 454 might
even work.
Not sure a double action is a necessary factor for me in either
hunting or defense! The single shot is a fun gun!

Hamer carried a SAA he called 'Old Lucky'. He was the man who ended up running Bonnie and Clyde's murderous rampage. When asked why he carried a five shot, 45 revolver he is reported to have replied, "If I can't finish it with five shots I'd be guilty of sloppy law enforcing."
