Default Interesting article on moon clips

"The other package Tom offers is conversion of the Taurus Judge to shoot .45 ACP in addition to .45
Colt and .410 shotshells. He machines the cylinder for a special .031?, .45 ACP Moonclip. The $225
package includes machining, two clips each for .45 Colt and .45 ACP, and MoonSetter and Stripper
tools. The shotshells do not require Moonclips."

Looks like there's hope for the Judge owners after all.

I would be concerned about the much longer distance the bullet has to
travel in the cylinder before reaching the barrel. The Judge does what
is supposed to do and I have a decent supply of .45LC for plinking but
..410 will be it's main diet. I have a 1911 for .45ACP shooting. Today
I picked up a Beretta 92FS Inox. Sweet gun! Smooth right our of the box.

Here are two ugly reminders why you shouldn't ignore the manufacturer's
recommendations:
