I'm really thinking I should have (want ) a revolver for DA practice, and I really like the .45 ACP cartridge. But I've always had an antipathy to the whole idea of moon clips. So my question is two-fold. First, do ALL .45 ACP DA revolvers use moon clips, or are there any that headspace on the case mouth like a semi-auto or SA? Second, are moon clips as big a PITA as I've always thought they are?
To clarify a bit, I'm not looking for a carry piece, this will just be a range gun, and maybe a backup HD weapon. I already load for .45 ACP, so that's an advantage over having to add another cartridge like .38/.357, my other most likely choice in a revolver, although I could make an argument for a .45 LC. I don't really have a need/desire for a magnum of any sort other than nostalgia, and in that case, I'd go with a .41 Mag. Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, thanks.
