Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The stainless steel Colts were advertised and even on the website for a short time but were never produced. During that time period I attended the Shot Shows every year and bugged Colt about the stainless for a couple of years. They finally came out with a finish that I have forgotten the name of but it was some kind of industrial satin finish that was supposed to be virtually scratch and rust proof. Ordered a pair and even got them with factory wide spur hammers in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Lawless Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 This might sound like a silly question but how do you get 45ACPs to work in a vaquero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Knight Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Assuming it is the same as the convertible Blackhawks, the cylinder is cut such that the front edge of the 45 ACP case hits a stop shoulder setting the depth of the round in the cylinder. No moon clips or such required. I've got a bicentennial edition Blackhawk with both the 45 Colt cylinder and matched 45 ACP cylinder. Never had any issues with running 45 ACP's through it, with either new ammo or reloads, so apparently tolerances allow a variety of ammo. At least my experience on the gun I have.

Why in the world would you want to?? If you want a rimmed cartridge for Classic Cowboy, use C45S cases in them. 2 hours ago, Blackie Lawless said: This might sound like a silly question but how do you get 45ACPs to work in a vaquero? Same way you would with any other cartridge in a single action revolver; 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, .357 mag, .44 spl, .44-40, .45 Colt, etc. - open the loading gate, and drop 'em in.

Blackie Lawless Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ok just checking. I know you sometimes need moon clips for double action revolvers so that wouldn't seem capable on a loading gate single action seeing as they're rimless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splitthumb Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 The brass rds. chambers on the front rim (mouth )of the case , just like they do in a 1911 . It’s that simple ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you sometimes need moon clips for double action revolvers so that wouldn't seem capable on a loading gate single action seeing as they're rimless If I understand it correctly, half-moon clips were originally invented to make use of plentiful supplies of .45acp in existing large frame S&W hand ejector and Colt New Service revolvers with minimal modification in order to supplement production of 1911 autoloaders. Both were labeled "Model of 1917" by the military. Today, a full-moon clip's role has shifted to providing the fastest possible reload in a swing-out DA revolver - less complicated, easier to use, and far less expensive than a speed loader. In a single action, the round headspaces on the case mouth, just as it does in an autoloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
