The advantage, to me, of having a .45 ACP revolver came when I had traded off a Colt Gold Cup .45 and was left with a goodly supply of ACP brass. Too good to discard, I sought a .45 ACP revovler. So I happened to have one Ruger Blackhawk with an ACP cylinder and went from there. Bought a shorter barreled Blackhwk, then a Smith Model 625.
Thje big advantages of a .45 ACP revolver over a .45 Auto is that the empty brass is deposited into the palm of your waiting hand, not scattered all over the ground in a fifty yard radius. (It seemed fifty yards) And the fact that you can, if need be, get some screaming velocities unheard of from an autoloader.
But as my brass supply dwindled, the old .45 Colt really came to the forefront.
