There is a stainless Ruger 45 Long Colt/45acp convertible at my LGS that I am trying to decide whether I am gonna buy or not. It is a beauty.
Would love to hear from some guys who use the 45LC round and what applications you use it for. Target shooting, reloading, hunting, defense etc. I just have no experience whatsoever with the round.
Anyone use one for self defense in predator country?
It's a great round, especially in a Ruger, since a Ruger can handle even a very hot load, roughly equaling the capabilities of the .44 Magnum. But the coolest thing about it will be that .45 ACP cylinder, allowing you to shoot it more cheaply. Either .45 Colt or .45 ACP will be excellent choices for self defense against human beings, with the right load.
