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.

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.

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.

I have long wanted to build a Sedgley-style single (reply)

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 figured you could do that but don't know how that is going (reply)

To work with a single action.

Well I hate to break it to you but…. (reply)

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.

Fortunately he hasn't had any takers YET (reply)

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?!?!?
