I also don't get the appeal of shooting the little auto cartridges out of these revolvers and dealing with the flimsy moon clips

I would like it. I love shooting 45 colt but find myself second guessing it because of price of ammunition. the versatility allows for practice with a cheaper round without having to have two guns. i love me some 45!

Yeah I'd look at it like getting a .357 mag, n shooting done .38 specials through it. But I'm gonna have to remember to watch the video when I'm not at work!

Is been explained to me that the IDPA guys like them because you can load them faster.

If I had spare money and all the other firearms on my firearm bucket list I doubt I would ever have a use for a 45 Colt/45 ACP revolver. I love revolvers for target and hunting (not Lions Puppyeyes).

A .44 mag/44special will get the job done on most North American Game.

My favorite revolver round for range shooting is .357 not only is it a fun at the range, other than capacity it's a nice weapon for home intruder's.

The only revolver I plan on getting is a .357 magnum for the same reason you have for the .44 magnum. If 6, 7, or even 8 rounds of .357 magnum doesn't drop your target in the North American brush then you have a problem that a .44 magnum's 5 or 6 probably aren't going to solve either.

The only two animals I think you might have a problem with .357 magnum are Polar Bears and maybe a very large Moose. A .357 magnum should be enough to drop even the biggest mountain lion. And it will dispatch a charging buffalo. So I think a quality .357 revolver will deal with 99% of anything you can encounter. So I have to agree with rwhite, if 6 rds of .357 mag. can't deal with it, .44 mag is not likely to improve the situation much. That's why god created rifles.

I was thinking Polar Bears, I forgot about moose.
