So, from time to time I get interested in a revolver chambered in .45 ACP. I'm back on the topic and am looking at options.
One that is standing out is the stainless Ruger Redhawk in .45 ACP and .45 LC. We stockpile the former, but don't presently the latter. That said, the ability to run both is an upshot. The automatic cartridges, naturally, will involve full moon clips and I'm fine with that. Anyone have experience with these wheelguns? My experience with pretty much everything from Ruger has been rock solid, but I thought I'd ask.
I also see Charter Arms offers a wheelgun in .45 ACP that does not require the use of moon clips. I find this neat-o from a mechanical standpoint, and the price tag is lower, but I'm still leaning heavily towards the Ruger, for a few reasons. That said, anyone have thoughts on these?
All that said, if anyone has other options to consider for a revolver in this vein, I'd value the information. Thanks much.
