John...I see your point...I just have never cared for .45s...not in revolvers or 1911s.
In all the reading and field work I have done it seems that once one crosses the .40 caliber line there are no more complaints when it comes to general game shooting. I read the acounts of many posted here who use cast .41 bullets down the 1000 fps MV area that punch nice holes through really big animals who travel a short way and then just drop over. I'm sure when shooting the REAL BIG stuff it would be nice to have a .45+ caliber but the last elephant I saw was in a zoo so the .41 will easily handle anything on this side of the pond that I am likely to run into.
