I have an opportunity to buy a bunch of guns way below current market values. A friend of a friend passed away and he had a huge collection. There are a bunch of S&W revolvers in this collection and many of them are chambered in 45 Colt.
I don't know a thing about 45 Colt.
I'm getting as many of the .357 and .44 S&W double action pieces as I can. I've not really considered the 45 Colts but the time is getting close where I have to make a decision...is there a compelling reason to have a 45 Colt? Is it just a cowboy action type cartridge? From the data I've checked it looks to be slightly less powerful than the 45 ACP and I've already got that base covered.
I dunno...I guess I'm just looking for some opinions on this. He's got several S&W 625's, Ruger single actions, and some model 25's. There is also a Colt New Frontier that looks cool.
Any thoughts are welcomed and appreciated.
