Hi all, I did a search without much return. I am a big fan of lever guns and revolvers. I carry a .45 auto as my daily side-kick, but my heart will always be with revolvers. With that said, can I get some input from folks who own revolvers that fire .45acp? Do you like them, are they accurate, is the moon clip more trouble than it is worth???
A local gun shop has a Ruger Blackhawk that shoots .45 Long Colt and .45acp. I have several Ruger products and S&W as well. I'd really like to find a S&W 625-8 (correct me if I have the wrong model #). I have absolutely no experience with revolvers that can fire rimless cartridges but the idea intrigues me and I have ample ammo to run through it!
Thanks for any input, -C-Man-

**EDIT** Guess this would have been better in "revolver" section... Sorry.
