Lessons learned:
1. JHP bullets aren't really much improvement
on these big rounds. Even if they don't
expand, they are still .45 inch wide.
2. Hard cast lead bullets will penetrate
plenty deeply. Old Elmer Keith told stories
of seeing horses shot with .45 Long Colt
pistols in gun battles that had two holes
in them....one going in and one going out
the other side.
No lack of penetration.
3. A man armed with this round is not under-armed
regarding penetration. But they are slow
to shoot and even slower to reload. That's
why many old gunfighters had mulitple pistols
on their horses' saddles.
4. And, as always, it's sure fun to shoot
stuff with these great pistols.  |
