They have a screw-on choke, with straight rifling. The choke keeps the shot from slinging out into a donut because of the wad spinning. Then you have to take it off to shoot .45 Colt.
That's the bigger guns, anyway. The short revolvers and stuff have no choke and no wad-despinner, making them basically worthless for anything more than shooting snakes IMO (which you could do just as well with a .44 or .357 shot cartridge).
That whole deal is a solution in search of a problem, IMO, without one that will safely shoot .454 Casull or .460, because then you could have a big-game and small-game gun all in one. But .45 Colt, why???
(Edit: To be fair, I think there is a 14" T/C single-shot .45/.410 pistol with the screw-on straight choke that's safe for .45 Colt +P "TC/Ruger only" loads, but it's the only one I know of.)
