My friend has a Pietta 44 revolver with a 45 Colt conversion barrel. Is it safe to load smokeless powder (POWER PISTOL, RED DOT, UNIQUE, ETC) in the 45 Colt brass?

Yes, as long as

1 - you stick with 45 Colt loads, and don't do "Ruger Only" loads, and

2 - it's a steel-framed gun. You should not use conversion cylinders on the brass-framed guns, but I am sure there are people that do.
