A new, bigger pistol for Harry
Fcrate:
Hmmm. Harry is a bit lacking in imagination, he should've magicked himself a pocket sized rocket launcher with laser targeting. Ka-blowie.

the 45-70 is a rifle round. People use it to kill big game, even Elephants.
Here is a cool demonstration video so you get a better idea of the scope of this gun.

Well the reason I went to this revolver is because Harry has had a progression with his guns:
.38
.357
.44 magnum
.500
All revolvers getting bigger, and more powerful. Almost like Jim is giving us a scale for comparing earlier Harry to present day Harry ;)

My point is that when people usually talk about the .45, and compare it with other cartridges, it's all about stopping power, and not once does the possibility of missing a shot come up. Increased ammo capacity or ease of use, never a factor. Bullets always go on target every time, and one is all you ever need.

It's a debate that will always be going on. Some prefer stopping power, some prefer more ammo and less recoil. Everyone has a bias.
