Here is the thing,
by recoil, the 44 special and 4 colt and 44 magnum put out the recoil.
beartooth website calculators put up some interesting data on recoil and cartridge performance.
Ironically using 44 ounce revolvers. So yes smaller revolvers will toss more on recoil but in theory it holds through.
so if a 165 grain cast bullet in a 357 magnum that recoils less then a 45 colt does using a 250 grain bullet at the same measured muzzle velocity and creating roughly the same wound channel,
why should i get the harder to feed 45 colt, and hold onto caliber as well?
Ignoring ENERGY, a 38 special can create the same wound channel at the same 10-1100 fps.
