ACP Revolver

This thread needs another photo: Who needs shot shells when wadcutters work just fine?



But seriously, I did enjoy reading this thread and learned a bit along the way. Hope it works out for you.

I made up some shotshells a while ago using .45 Auto Rim cases and Speer .45 Colt plastic shot shell capsules and #9 shot. I used a 45 ACP taper crimp die to prevent crushing the shot capsule. Those are some scratches and not splits on reloaded cases. Used them several times. They work great and do not protrude from the cylinder.

Since we're posting pictures....
Old 1917 Colt .45 ACP

I would like to see the top of the barrel how that sight was installed many of those 1917’s were cut down like that and my Colt 1917 has a barrel bulge in it. I may cut it down maybe 3” would look cool.

I'll try to remember to get a picture when I get home tonight.
If I forget, remind me.

Thanks for the reminder.
This revolver really isn't rusty, but for some reason the camera makes it look like it.
