    I wonder…
    Could one run .45 acp with moon clips in the .45 LC version by popping the cylinder pin and rolling the cylinder out?
    I’ve never had a “cowboy gun” SAA type so I don’t know if it would work.

    I imagine you'd have to have the cylinder cut for moon clips...but if you did I imagine it would work. Without cutting a recess, though, there probably wouldn't be enough room and the case heads would bind between the cylinder and blast shield. There's not a lot of room there. You'd also probably need custom moon clips made to fit around the ratchet.

    My Blackhawk .45 convertible has a separate cylinder for ACP that has a rim for the case head to bottom out against to create proper headspace. A .45 ACP just falls into the .45 Colt Cylinder. Now .45 Auto-rim would work, but it's probably easier to just source .45 Colt.

    This video gives a decent look at the finish of this revolver. Go to 00:32 in video to see the finish.

    I'm thinking about getting one of these. The plastic grips will have to he changed for decent wood grips.
