having a 357 magnum in your arsenal is always a good choice . You can shoot 38 special and 357 magnum ammunition in it which is pretty cool. Another thing to keep in mind is the 357 round is much more powerful than the 45lc round. If you are really interested in something as big as a 45lc then you could buy a 44 magnum and at least having the option of shooting 44 specials out of it. I just purchased a ruger gp101 357 magnum and for the money its a great buy and it is built like a tank.
