.45 Schofield in a modern .45 Colt S&W revolver.

If the rim isn't too wide, I was wondering how well a nice "reduced-power" load would perform in an "N"-frame revolver. The concept of a "softer-shooting" big bore would likely make for a great "trail" gun. While a bit heavier than most, the larger revolver could be relied upon to take out larger threats without taxing the shooter.

It would also make for a "relaxing" round for open range days. Easy shooting, yet powerful enough to stop a human threat (should the need arise). The concept has merit, doesn't it?

I have to say it:

"YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!"

(I've never seen that movie in its entirety though.)

I'm pretty sure I've see the whole thing, but not in one sitting.
