I have both. I haven't shot the 44 in a long time. I have a Ss Ruger Bisley 45 colt with 5.5" barrel - which is close to perfection in my book. I carry this gun alot when I'm hunting, retrieving meat, or plain hunting. When you set both loaded rounds side-side, it becomes readily apparent that the 45 is more cartridge.
FWIW I replaced a 4.5" 44 Ruger SBH with the Bisley. I do it again all day long and twice on Sunday. I've struggled not buying another Bisley 45.............
