Wheelgun get the .45 Colt,45 ACP in a wheelgun will require you to use "moonclips" so the cartridge has something to hang on to..45 ACP is rimless cartridge designed for semi automatics.Felt recoil will dependant on bullet weight X fps X weight of the firearm.Some loads for the ACP will feel heavier in a semi auto than a comparable .45 Colt in the B/H.Semi auto will be a lighter gun and the B/H heavier.Single action revolvers rule with the .45 Colt.
