The purpose of this thread is to examine the performance differences between 45 Colt and 44 Magnum. This is not an advocacy thread; I like both cartridges and have guns chambered in both cartridges.
I have seen some folks stating that 45 Colt outperforms the 44 Magnum cartridge. I always thought 44 Magnum was more powerful, but clearly some folks disagree. What are the numbers? How does it behave that is different than 44 Magnum? Why are they saying that?
