I would have to agree with one of each. The 45Colt is hard to come by sometimes, which is why I have a convertable, 45acp's are as common as 357 if not even more so and surplus ammo almost makes reloading unnecessary. The 357 is a lighter recoiling and lighter carry gun and has proven through the years to be a man stopper.
