I carry a Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt when in the woods. If I were to carry a 45 ACP it would be a S&W M625.
Different bullet diameters.I'd like a 625 Mountain Gun in 45LC. I'd have the cylinder trimmed so I could run 45acp in moonclips. That'd be real slick I think.
Different bullet diameters.
That's why the convertible single actions do not really perform very well.
Ah! I based my comment on old bore diameters.No one informed my two Ruger Blackhawk convertibles that they don't shoot well with the ACP cartridges.

I once had and really likded a Colt SAA. We could not carry here then.I carry a Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt when in the woods.
I, too.If I were to carry a 45 ACP it would be a S&W M625.
How do you like those grips when shooting the big boy?
I should have added the fact I don't do woods much anymore either. Time and age are catching up with me and while the mind is willing they body disagrees lol.I once had and really likded a Colt SAA. We could not carry here then.
The Ruger would be better for woods carry with the transfer bar.
Were I to carry in the woods today, I would carry my 5 inch 686+. Can't walk on safely on uneven ground now.
I, too.
I also have a Ruger 45/45acp that’s my everyday carry gun very accurate with 45long hand loads or store bought,but moon clips and 45acp why bother it’s not as accurate as my Blackhawk convertible is with the acp cylinder and he did state weastern.Sorry but a modern double action revolver doesn't have much to do with the old West. A more traditionally styled single action revolver, with an accessory cylinder chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge would be closer to satisfying the motivation you describe above.

Auto Rim always seemed silly to me. Why would you not want to use moonclips?
Thats how I do it. Screw trying to do it at the range.You guys just need more moonclips. Load them at home in your leisure. Go to the range and shoot to your hearts content. Go home and unload/reload at your leisure.

And that is less than 1/3 for each gun.
Moonclips Rule.
The moon clips really arent that bad if you buy them in bulk. Cheaper than mags with many things.That is a lot of moonclips, serious investment over time and I say with that many moonclips even unloading and loading at your leisure at home you will still end up with a bloody thumb with that many.
I can't talk because I mainly use moonclips on the range as well but do love Autorim so much easier.
