If you were able to handle the .357 Magnum, the .45 Colt should pose no problem. Also, the .45 Colt, in a Ruger, is built on the .44 Magnum frame (as are all Blackhawks except the Flat Tops) and dampens the recoil very well.

My first handgun of my very own (not halvies) was a .45 Colt New Service, and is what I learned to shoot on.
