That depends on what weight bullet you are going to be shooting. The .45 Colt performs better with the heavier bullets. The .44 Mag is better with the lighter bullets. Although I think the .44 Mag is the more versitile of the two since it shoots heavy bullets almost as fast as the .45 Colt and the lighter bullets much faster than the .45 Colt. I have both and pretty much standardized the .44 for 180 grain bullets and the .45 Colts for 300 grain bullets. I have the rifle/pistol combo in the .45 but only a couple pistols in the .44.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
