aboltfan, always wanted to do this to a Ruger BH in 44 mag, when they only had the long barrels. Then I ran into this 45 lc for sale, from a man I bought my house from. You wouldnt believe how much I payed for it !!

I bought one in the 90s brand new and paid $339.00 for it. I never liked the 7.5 inch barrel. I didn't want to cut the barrel and endied up selling it. Should have cut the thing and made it what I wanted.

Do you handload? 45 Colt factory ammo is very expensive and very weak. Boutique 45 Colt ammo is extremely expensive and very powerful.
If you don’t handload I would get either a Blackhawk with convertible cylinder or an auto in .45 ACP. There is actually a lot to like about a .45 auto besides cheaper ammo. They are flat and easy to carry and most are resistant to abuse.
If you really need magnum power in an auto, you can always look at 45 +p, 45 Super, or 10mm.
