I'm wondering if the .45ACP capability of the S&W is worth it. How hard is .45 Colt to come by. I
sure don't ever see it in my favorite, most beloved, WalMart store.
Probably harder than you think, and more than you care.
I like the LC but not every place has it because there's not much demand for it.
I think the attractiveness of .45 ACP is that they tend to go cheaper
than .45 LC
If you shoot a lot, this can make a lot of difference.
The attractiveness of the .45 ACP has a lot to do with the fact that the
round, its size, its casing, its powder charge, were redesigned for
semi-auto pistols, while the .45 LC round is used mostly in revolvers
and "cowboy" style lever-action rifles. There are far more "Automatic
Colt Pistols" in use these days, I would guess, than .45 LC wheel guns.
You are also correct that the ACP rounds are cheaper..about half the
price these days of a LC round.
