.45 Long Colt
I went from .357 to .45 Long Colt. I like it. I have shot the .44, thinking that it would kick like a mule from all I had seen from the gun writers.
Nothing of the sort.
However, I like the versatility of the .45 Colt. I can load it with round balls for fun or heavy loads for hunting, and lighter loads for target. Mine is a 25-5 purchased about 1985 or so, 4" blued. I really like shooting it. It has Pachmayar grips on it and shoots like a .38 Special with the weight of the N-frame.
That being said, you won't go wrong getting a .44 magnum, either.
The Doc is out now.
