Hello all!!
Thanks for the great responses on the Handgun myths rumors and urban legends question I posted a few weeks ago. I have a quick question though regarding mid 1900s police revolvers. I know that .38 Special and other rimmed revolver rounds were the standard police sidearm, but my question is why weren't .45 ACP revolvers using moon clips more popular with police in the 1920's and beyond? It would seem that moon clips would afford a faster reload especially in the days before speed loaders like we know today. I couldn't find a particular reason anywhere I looked so I thought some of the people on here could help.
Thanks a lot!!!
