Blackhawk
For what it is worth, when in the woods or in the mountains on horseback, I always carried an 4 5/8ths old model .45 Colt with 296 loads. I carried it in a holster that sat on my chest or to the side of it a little like they show Doc Holiday in the westerns. I was shooting a solid Keith bullet that weighed out at 262 made from wheelweights and linotype. Great penetration with no leading and very accurate. I killed a black bear with it with one head shot, and it will penetrate both sides of an old safariland bullet proof vest. As much gun as I need. Reliable, fast, and instinctively accurate even from the hip in need be. My two cents worth. Hank.
