I own a bh 5.5 in 45 colt and a sbh10.5 in 44 mag. While i like to carry and shoot my 45, it is as accurate as i am, i really like shooting my 44 more. It is accurate and has nothing done to it. I just enjoy 44's better. Seems like i can load 44's hotter and with more bullet choice. More meat around the cylinders. The pros for the 45 is it rolls off the tongue and sounds more powerfull and definantly more prestigious when you name drop a 45 colt.
