Yeah the .45 is a real shooters gun. My friends who are really into competitions shoot that caliber. Fantastic accuracy. I opted for a Walther PPKS 380. I havn't shot it in years but it is a pleasure to shoot. I think a revolver is more practical for a self-defense piece but I was a target shooter. I used to go to a range that rented all the calibers so I could try them all. The 44 was so loud and there was a muzzle flash that was way too distracting for me to be accurate with it. Someone brought in an 9 mil Uzi with a 25 round clip once. It was semi-auto but when they kept it rolling you really wanted to hit the dirt. Cops who face those kind of guns on the street have balls of steel. It creates a primal terror to hear so many rounds go off. Shooting 38s in a 357 mag gun is a nice way to shoot. The heavy gun loaded with a lighter round helps you relax as you squeeze the trigger. I never could enjoy even a 357 mag round though. The kick was just too unpleasant for me to breath properly to be accurate. I guess my balls are of a softer alloy! But as Dirty Harry said "A man's got to know his limitations!"
