45 Colt really doesn't use enough powder to show a velocity gain in a 24" vs 20" barrel. Longer sight plain might make a slight difference when using open sights.
Regardless of previous comments, this is STILL A HANDGUN CARTRIDGE and can not and will not provide the performance of even a low end rifle cartridge(30/30, 35 Rem) except at very short range.
