When you look at the properties of a cartridge, you should understand what the cartridge was designed to do. The .45 Colt<\/a> was introduced in 1873 in the Colt Single Action Army. It replaced less effective .44 caliber revolvers<\/a>. The .45 Colt was designed, among other things, to be effective against an Indian war pony at 100 yards. <\/p>\n

More horses than men were killed during many battles, sometimes two to one. Study that a bit and you will find that the .45 Colt\u2019s design envelope is useful today. Some may purchase a snub .38<\/a> or slim-line 9mm<\/a> and be satisfied, but the .45 Colt is still viable. <\/p>\n

I am an outdoorsman and like to have something on the hip that will anchor a wild beast. If you have ever run across one of the big cats or a bear in the wild, the heart-pounding moment of realization isn\u2019t easily forgotten. Feral dogs are a real danger. If you want a cartridge that will cut through over 40 inches of animal without the fuss, bother, noise, and recoil of a magnum, the .45 Colt is your best bet. <\/p>\n
