Having both ACP and Colt chambered cylinders for a couple of my m83’s I find accuracy to be excellent at any velocity level with bullets having ranged from 185g to 411g! I say hogwash to those who pound keyboards bashing the twist. And I am a huge proponent of fast twist rates lol

Preferring the .41 Magnum I don't have either caliber but a friend has a .44 Special with the square butt and 4.25" barrel that I have shot several times.
If choosing between the .45 Colt and .44 Special I would go .44 Special. The case length is perfect for the size of the gun and recoil of the 97 isn't something I enjoy with heavy bullets.

The cyl length in .45 wouldn’t necessarily be a deal breaker for me, I’d make it work if that’s what come along. But a 97 in .44 spc is what I’ve wanted for a long time now, just seems like a right fit.

This is my first post. I do not need another firearm but I am in the market for either a FA 97 in 44 special or 45 LC. I have some of both now and load for them along with my FA 454. I shoot cast bullets 90% of the time so that might have something to do with the selection, as the 44 might handle cast better, but I do not know. All input appreciated. How does one post pictures? EASY ANSWER---BUY 'EM BOTH. YOU CAN SAVE UP WHILE YOU WAIT AND A YEAR AFTER YOU GET THEM YOU WON'T MISS THE MONEY.
