Application / Regulation advice Why not ?

I just wonder, why don't they make these guns with rimfire and centerfire calipers ? is there a law against that ?

"Why?" may be a better question. .410 is pretty expensive to be throwing at a novelty gun.

Anything where your hand is foreward of the cylinder is not ideal due to the gas discharged from the cylinder.

You seen the price of .45 colt? .410 isn’t so bad

Just checked .45ACP last night with ammobin, .54/round is the cheapest

Damn that’s a lot cheaper than any I’ve seen here in the GTA for sure

Ahh I just saw you said .45ACP .. my eyes must be blurry haha. .45 colt is usually over a buck a round (as is .410). If I knew where to get different moon clips that would be compatible I’d pick some up. I know in general moon clips are not something that last a long time anyway, but I was surprised mine became loose so quickly . I really have to hold my clips carefully when dropping them in. Same thing with speed loaders such as HKS or speed beez. Ones that work with the Taurus or Rossi do not work with these Turkish copies (due to the slightly bigger cylinder). Well, the speed beez one almost works. What you can do is gets the noses in , release, then slap them down the rest of the way. Very minor complaint about these Turkish copies.
