.45 Colt Handguns

12 .45 Colt handguns from 7 brands, 6 rounds and 30.2 to 72 oz. We don't have dealer prices for these yet. MSRPs run $515 to $2,299.

Nearly every .45 Colt here is a single-action revolver, from Old West reproductions for cowboy action shooting to modern Ruger models. Some modern frames are built for heavier hunting loads, but many are rated for standard pressure only, so check the maker's guidance before buying heavy ammo. The S&W Governor is the double-action exception and also fires .410 shotshells.
