I noted an idiot on eBay was trying to sell a 45 Colt cylinder for a Blackhawk and said it will also fit 45 acp with moon clips?!?!?

Hopefully buyers will know better, but someone will believe him.....

A Blackhawk 45 colt cylinder will accept a moon clip full of 45 Acp.
I used to use moon clips all the time reaming the cylinders, I'd inset a moon clip full of empties when I'd hone them after reaming to protect the headspacing/shoulder. (on the Acp cylinders that is)

Never installed one in a gun though to see if there was enough ratchet past the clip to still function.

To work with a single action.

action with a lift-out cylinder on a Beretta Stampede that would work with 45acp moon clips.

That way I might be able to keep up with Jim Taylor on unloading a single action.

I would have to look and see and doe some measuring, BUT I think a little lathe work may just allow it to work.

Never really thought about it.

The .45 Colt has thin rims so there is not much headspace there. An ACP rim plus thickness of the clip would be too thick to fit. I believe when they modify double action cylinders to work with and without moon clips they leave part of the perimeter of each chamber high enough to support a case by itself, and the rest of the perimeter gets cut down to clear the moon clip.

Slowly.

reinsert the cylinder filled with 45 ACP in moon clips. NM Blackhawks, I don't own any, could be different I guess but I doubt it.

But why bother?
