I am the guy that bought the, what turned out to be the modified 1917 44AMP referred to.
Somebody simply reamed the 45ACP cylinder out to 45 Colt. A factory 250grain load barely fit.
ACP in a clip would work, but I didn't want to fire it that way, it seemed to be horribly over size for ACP.
It did however shoot 12rds of 250gr Cowboy loads fine. Hammer strike was a little light, but it did ignite.
I just didn't trust it, I wanted a knock around 1917. I passed it on with full disclosure to the new owner about its condition.
Lesson learned, check everything before buying.
