Dirty Harry's portable cannon was a '''.44''' Magnum, a bigger weapon than the antique Colt .45 by an order of magnitude. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 02:02, 9 February 2008 (CET)

Fixed the article. Although the argument that the .44 Magnum is a bigger weapon than the antique Colt .45 can be put into question (see Ned Buntline Special) it certainly is far more powerful. I sorted the Dirty Harry reference into a separate space and referred the part concerning the .45 Colt to the Wild West. [[User:FlakBait|FlakBait]] 21:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I say 4-5 times the muzzle energy of the ''modern'' Colt .45 Revolver is definitely bigger, but I defer to anyone who's been shot with both. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
