I like my 45colt/45acp "convertible" as well. It shoots both cartridges accurately. Since my FiL is kind enough to reload 45acp for me at cost, that's what I tend to shoot out of it. My understanding is the it will safely shoot "Ruger only" 45colt loads that are close to 44 magnums. I like long barrels, so mine is 7.5".
I have two Single Sixes (22 and 32), two Blackhawks (357 and 45) and a Super Blackhawk (44). The Super Blackhawk is my favorite. I usually just shoot 44 special out of it.
Personally, I prefer the regular Ruger "plowhandle" grips. I tuck my pinky underneath them and they fit my hand perfectly. I hold them just a little looser than my other handguns and let them roll with the recoil just a little bit. That's a comfortable and accurate style for me. YMMV.
Here's a picture of the 45. It's the only one of the five that I bought brand-new.
