I like the .45, but prefer the 125 grain .357 magnum rd.

The .357 magnum is the king of man-stoppers. The less than top notch stats listed are because the ammo is unable to reach its potential velocity in the shorter barrels tested.

With the short barrels you lose that extra velocity like you said. About the only way to get decent velocities is a hand loaded round or Buffalo Bore ammo.
