Tough to beat a Ruger 45 Colt for an all around handgun. I’ve carried this one a fair amount. More now since I sold my 500 LB. A 300-340 grain bullet, cast of a hard alloy, and sitting on a stout load of 4227 or H110 will make the .429 magnum go hide in the closet. And it doesn’t have to lie about its girth.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
