I think I like the 45 better, because it is accurate and holds more shots. It's also easier to reload if you have multiple magazines.
The 44 special was used and the sights aren't reliable. They are the goove style sights so they can't be adjusted.
Though I will say...I am happy with both of my guns! :)
Happy is good.
I like the .44 because of its awesome good looks and sheer stopping power. The 6 shot limit is a drag if I need more...but the .45 is small enough to be my back-up if I need it!
