Some more food for thought comparing the .44 to the old, worn out .45.

And one must remember when reading the above article that it was written in the `80's and that bullet selection has changed greatly. I'm afraid that with regards to the .44, it is outdated. Nowadays the .44 enjoys at least a 100fps advantage over all bullet weights.Some more food for thought comparing the .44 to the old, worn out .45.
Companion gun? What is your primary?looking at a ruger blackhawk as a companion gun for deer hunting in michigan, and I cant decide between .45lc and .44 mag
shots will be under 50yds, w/ iron sights. i'm leaning towards the .45lc because of the availability of ammo in my area and i feel that the .45lc is more versatile than the .44.
Anyone got any ideas?
And a reloading press opens a whole nuther world. I don't need no stinkin' ACP cylinder...
And the .44 magnum came from the .44 Special which came from the .44 Russian.45 Colt because it has 100+ years of American heritage, makes a bigger hole, and can be stuffed full of black powder just as originally loaded in 1873.
I'm curious as to how one hunts white tail with a hand gun be it Ruger or Colt (I have both) So riddle me this:
You're hunkered down behind a tree... (Prolly for a good deal of time) along comes Mister Buck (the kind with antlers on 4 legs) What is the preferred position before you squeeze the trigger?
