Ruger .45 ACP / .45 LC

[CopperFouling]

In a revolver, what would drive a choice between 45 ACP and the 45 Colt? I have both, though not in the same guns.

If I had to buy a new 45 revolver (and I don'), I'd buy the 45 over the ACP.

YMMV

I already load for .45 ACP. I wasn't planning to buy a bunch of reloading equipment for the Long Colt, just thought that it would be nice to have the option.

The .45 Super generates nearly the pressure of a .45 Colt Ruger load. I know shoot it in 625s, but I would be hesitant to, and I certainly would not advocate it without including appropriate warnings.

Yeah...I'd be reluctant to shoot Super without S&W's blessing. I doubt that would be forthcoming.

Convertible cylinders is, IMHO, the only way to go with .45 Colt/.45 ACP revolvers. The S&W Governor is something else altogether, and nothing that I would buy.

YMMV.
