Hey guys, I have a USFA nickel Single Action that is truly awesome. I have become very fond of it. I have come across a sweet deal on a NIB Colt single action, blued with a case hardened frame. I want the 4.75in barrel again as I feel really comfortable with it and like it better than the 5.5in. My question is about the caliber. My USFA is .45 Colt and was wondering if an argument could be made for the 44-40. I have no experience with it, but what do you guys think about this cartridge? I cast my own lead bullets and load my own .45 Colt, so I assume I could do the same with the 44-40. Is there any advantage to going this route? Or should I just stay with the mighty .45??? Anyway.......what are your thoughts ? Thanks. Kevin.
