I don't know much about revolvers but I thing you mean a Ruger 454 Super Redhawk. The 45 Colt starts at 300 + grain at over 110o fps, some serious energy, but the gun is a 4 pounder. and made to help handle the recoil.txbell1 wrote:Hi everyone,
Since my last visit I've bought a 1911 compact Springfield 45 cal and I love it. However now, (this is never ending) I want to get a Ruger super redhawk .480. So my question is what is the difference between a 45 cal and a .45 Long Colt? I know that I can handle the .45 cal but wonder what kind of difference would be between the two if any?
Edit typo 254 to 454
