There is always a shootist here that loves to catch someone not using the term magazine.

Google S&W Model 625 JM and US Army 1917 DA REVOLVER. Both of these are 45 ACP use moon clips (full, half and 2 shot). I carry the 625 with me in my truck along with a 1911A1. I also have two 1917s, one an original and one a S&W Model 22 reproduction. I carry the 625 because it is just as fast loading as the 1911 for me anyway.

So, I really did mean “clip”. :^)

BTW. both of those revolver types can shoot 45 auto rim cartridges, but they are expensive and hard to find in gunshops here .

The C96 "Broom-Handle" Mauser was manufactured in 7.62mm, 9mm Luger, &.45 ACP. The lions share of the .45 models were sold for export to the Nationalist Chinese Army for use against Mao's guerrilla army during the Chinese communist revolutionary war.

All three calibers were loaded into fixed magazines from stripper clips (also capable of one at a time if no clips were available) on appropriately chambered weapons. All three versions held ten rounds except a Spanish version which was full auto and was provided with an extension to the fixed magazine that replaced the follower, spring and floor plate with a kludge magazine extension that increased the cartridge load to twenty, also loaded from "clips".

Regards,
GtG

PS You might remember the "Broom-Handle" as the pistol favored by the "Dragon Lady" of "Terry and the Pirates" comics. Anybody remember them?
