Aw man, now you’ve really done it! we will no doubt get a lengthy tirade about the differences in a clip and a magazine. BTW, I looked on a recent pistol I thought about buying and it had .45ACP calibre on the side.
Any idea how old it was. The old military models are a little fragile, the newer S&W models can take some pretty stiff reloads.
I really like the 625 S&W put out in the late 80’s. Plus full moon clips are inexpensive. You can buy a hundred for about $50 which gives you 600 rounds ready to go with reloading almost as fast as with a semiauto.
As a bonus, if you reload, the clips keep the rounds nice and tidy, much easier than scrounging through the grass for spent brass.
