so i just saw how .38s work in .357 revolvers, but my question is... what other revolvers can feed two different 'calibers'

[FLoppyTOE]

.44 special will go in .44 mag

.45 colt will go in .454 casull which will go in .460

[Claude Clay]

32 acp into 32 S&W short into 32 S&W long into 32 H&R mag into Federal 312
32 long or mag into a Nagant 7.62 x 38

[MikePGS]

.44 special will go into .44 mag. And theres a gun called The Medusa (No longer made unfortunately) which will hold 12 to 15 different types of ammo.

[General Geoff]

.40S&W will go into 10mm Auto

[foghornl]

.44 Russian & .44 Special in .44Mag

[AllisonDT]

.40S&W will go into 10mm Auto

Ummm, General, sir, you don't really feed .40SW in your 10mm semi-autos do you?

You are correct, of course; the bullets are exactly the same size, so it will certainly fit, but safely and dependably shooting them is another matter entirely.

I hate to disagree with a General and all, but that info is misleading at best.


ETA: Hehehe, I forgot I was in the "Revolver Forum." *embarrassed* Yes, if you happen to have a 10mm revolver, you'll be able shoot .40SW in it, too. Apologies! :)

[Schofield3]

I believe 410GA will work with 45 LC as well..

[MikePGS]

Ummm, General, sir, you don't really feed .40SW in your 10mm semi-autos do you?
This is the revolver forum though :P And General is absolutely correct, the Smith and Wesson 610 will fire either 10mm or .40 caliber.

Here it is, the Taurus 45/410 :D

Interesting bit here about the Medusa Revolver, first I’ve heard of it till MikePGS mentioned it….

I've heard of it for some years but never had the fortune to see one in person. If I ever do see it though and have the money to buy it, I will do so in an instant. Theres an interesting Popular Mechanics article about it http://www.popularmechanics.com/outdoors/sports/1277301.html . The last I heard was that Colt owns the patent now, but hasn't done anything with it. Every so often I let myself fantasize about buying the patent and making them in different configurations (snubnose, etc).

[Schofield3]

I’m right there with ya, I’d have to have one too, that or a Mateba

[RKBABob]

Here it is, the Taurus 45/410I apologise in advance if you own one, but.... Wow, that's one ugly gun!

[kle]

Or combine it with Dan Wesson's interchangeable barrels and Ruger's grip "frame" (from their GP100 series). I'd buy two.

[Schofield3]

Wow, that's one ugly gun!

Haha no worries, I don’t own, but I seem to have a taste for odd looking guns. And man there are some weird ones out there.….

You can safely fire .410 shells in a .45-70.

[Coyote3855]

.45 Colt will chamber and safely fire .45 Schofield and .45 Cowboy Special.

[KyJim]

In a revolver, .22 short and .22 long will go in a .22 long rifle.

[Prepster]

500 S+W special will go into a 500 S+W magnum, although it seems like you'd be robbing yourself of the experience of a 500 magnum.

[NoWake200]

RKBABob, I think the stainless Judge looks a little better. That is the one I have and I did not buy it based on looks. ;)

Apologies for going OT, but when you've got a couple of hours (or days) to burn, Shofield3, you need to go here:

In particular, go to "curiosities". Amazing what's been tried in the past. Brass knuckle guns, folding knife guns, a finger ring gun, a tobacco pipe gun. Even a crucifix gun.

Number 1 - It's different CARTRIDGES of the SAME CALBER

hmm, about that statement of the .32 S&W family of rimmed cartridges
also being able to use the .32 ACP rimless cartridge .... that's a new
one.

Smith & Wesson .45 ACP Revolvers - they will all fire
the .45 ACP rimless cartridge with full moon clips making
extraction an easier/quicker operation than not using the
Moon clips. It will also chamber the .45 Auto Rim, a cartridge
created by Remington-Peters in 1920 - it has the same case
dimensions as the .45 ACP except it has a thicker than usual
rim in order to be positioned for the firing pin.

i was told on here that 45 auto rim would not go into a 45acp revolver but i looked in my manual for my 625 and it said you could so i dont know

[Schofield3]

MrBorland:

Thanks for the link, amazing firearms, as you said you sure can spend some time on that site, I had to stop myself…..

[goon]

I believe 410GA will work with 45 LC as well..


Only in guns that are designed for both.
The .410 is longer than a .45 LC round. And although the .45LC may fit in some .410 shotguns, firing one will probably result in blowing the choke out of your gun at the very least.
Only interchange them in guns that are specifically designed to use both.

[BlindJustice]

.45 ACP & .45 AUto Rim are designed for S&W .45 ACP Revolvers
PERIOD. You can also include the Colt M1917 They are all built with
an extra bit of gap between the rear of the cylinder and the
frame for room for the Moon Clips. The .45 Auto RIm's
Rim thickness is approx. 0.0910" A standard rimmed cartridge
such as .45 Colt, .44 Special, .44 Mag, etc. have rim thickness
of approx. 0.0615" Why the thicker .45 AR rim? So it is positioned
correctly for the firing pin strike. .45 Auto Rim cannot be fired
in a Semi-Auto - the rim would interfere with chambering as well
as it would probably not work with the extractor as well.
ALso, Ruger Blackhawk Single Action revolvers with the .45 Colt
and interchangeable cylinder for .45 ACP needs modification
before .45 Auto RIm could be chambered in it.
