45 ACP Revolvers

[WAYNO]

No one yet has mentioned the new-ish Ruger Revolver chambered in 45Colt & 45acp. Stainless steel.

Like this?

I think they mean the Redhawk. You can use .45 ACP or .45 Colt using moon clips, or .45 Colt loaded singly, with speed strips or speed loaders.

Adios,

...and the article the picture came from - Ruger Redhawk .45 Colt & .45 ACP | Down Range TV

I'd still like to have one of those....one of these days.

Not so much anymore. I lusted after a 1917 Smith or New Service Colt in the .45acp for a long time- finally found a nice Colt 1917- got some 1/3 moon-clips and proceeded to bang away at the hill at the rear of the family property. Well and good and I began reloading for it... got some silver-tips too. Well my tastes changed and I sprung for a Combat Commander and sold the revolver down the river. A revolver that size in .45acp would have been fine in ww1, but one that size calls for a .357 chambering at the least, in my book. I liked it fine for what it was... but it was neither fish nor fowl, as they say. I hope it's in someone's collection, it was a good-looking revolver, esp for it's age..

I have a 45 ACP cylinder for one of my Colt SAA's. Don't use it often though.
