Rossi 92 in 45 Colt versus 44 Mag - SASS Wire Forum
WEBPosted August 25, 2020. Personally given the above criteria I would go with the 45. The Rossi 92 is a very strong action and can safely handle the +P or "Ruger only" loads found in some manuals, so the 44 and 45 are pretty much equal in power (at least out of a 92). SASS style revolvers are also much easier to find in 45.
Ruger Blackhawk 45 colt vs Ruger Super Blackhawk 44magnum
WEBFeb 8, 2022 · They are built on exactly the same frame, equal strength. The Blackhawk has an aluminum grip frame, the Super has a steel grip frame.

WEBJun 4, 2016 · Posted June 5, 2016. While it is probably not dangerous to shoot a .44-40 in a .45 LC chamber, confusing a .45 LC round you accidentally loaded into your .44-40 rifle will cause a jam that could be a real problem, especially in a real firefight!
