Northern Virginia/Southern Maryland/Washington DC area, and therefore I may have need of one of

these two revolvers:

Anyone own one of these? I like the idea that the S&W will fire the .45 ACP. The Taurus, from what I

see, is limited to the .45 Colt, as far as .45 caliber goes.



Anyone? Who knows, maybe those damn pythons will work their way up here!

I have that Judge - the 2.5" model. It's a great little gun for home

protection or snakes, too! It will shoot the .45 Colt or the .410

shotgun shells. Go for it! They aren't that expensive.



I'm wondering if the .45ACP capability of the S&W is worth it. How hard is .45 Colt to come by. I

sure don't ever see it in my favorite, most beloved, WalMart store.

Probably harder than you think, and more than you care.

I like the LC but not every place has it because there's not much demand for it.

Well, I see one must use a 'moon clip' to fire the .45ACP rounds in the S&W. Ever used one of those?
Looks like you'd have to slide the rounds in the moon clip, and then slide all the clipped rounds
into the cylinder.
