[theothertoddg]

Don't forget Indiana Jones used one of them....in some scenes any way

[ocarlson007]

so do u need moon clips to shoot it? cuz ACP so how does that work?

[Vlaxerman343]

the most i can say about this is, you'll never take me alive coppers

[shockeyshock]

what are those sights called? when they dont have the

"bunny ears' in the back,

[wootfortoot]

if you were just using .45 acp without moonclips, when you wanted to extract them would you be able to pull them out with your fingers or would you need to use a pencil, rod, etc?

thank you

[Bryl25]

The first thing I did when I turned 21 was buy this type of handgun!

[FreestylaBoy]

some tips it shoot .45 Auto Rim too. it's just a rimmed 45 ACP.

[Wasabirock55]

Revolvers are probably the easiest gun to clean and use

[CArtOfTheMAn]

Its beautiful!!! i love the finish!

[chaseisahappyman]

flipping the cylinder open and closed like that will eventually twist the crane, dry-firing on the other hand will cause no harm.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@chaseisahappyman Thanks, but like I've told all the other people who told me this.I had no tripod at the time of this vid, so i was working with only one hand.I never flip the cylinder like that, but I was doing this vid one handed.

Again Thanks for the tip though.

[Jrhoney]

What did you pay for this if you don't mind me asking?

I bought a S&W Model 1917 last Sunday at the gunshow for $350.

[stevevandien]

Hey man, would love to see you shooting this great piece:) --

[JohnWayneColt45]

@stevevandien I've been meaning to post shooting vids for so long,,and this revolver shoots so nice too.Very accurate.

[xCOREBiNx]

@JohnWayneColt45 do they still sell these? if so how much does it cost and does it have a safety switch?

[Jrhoney]

@xCOREBiNx Yes, they still sell them. I would ask at your local gun store to see if they can order you one. And no, there is no safety. Then again you don't need on. Your finger and the long deliberate trigger pull is the safety.

@JohnWayneColt45 nice gun i got one that my gradfather stole from a german in ww2 i guess the german got it from a u.s army guy in ww1

[ballygeale1]

i love it

[TheKentuckykid9513]

Does it use full moon clips

[JohnWayneColt45]

@TheKentuckykid9513 Sure does.

[chrisf8657]

Nice gun, but stop side slapping the cylinder (flipping it closed while open with your wrist)....

[JohnWayneColt45]

@chrisf8657 Thanks,,I was filming with one hand,I ususally don't do that.

[skylerbob8]

@JohnWayneColt45

will it take +p ammo?

[chrisf8657]

@skylerbob8

I have a New Model 22 also, yes, it can shoot +P ammo safely.

[MOJONIXION]

Can that also use a diffrent ammo w/o the 1/2 moon clips?

[JohnWayneColt45]

@MOJONIXION It only takes .45, but it will load without the half-moon clips.

[NormanMatchem]

Nice pistol. My Remington M1917 made some time in '17-early '18 would go well with it lol :P

[docwatson58]

Nice job and nice weapon, word to the wise from an old revolver man, don't flip the cylinder in and out with you wrist as it will warp the crane, which is the piece in front of the cylinder that the cylinder swings out on. You want to gently close and open it any time that you handle it. Once again nice weapon.

[JohnWayneColt45]

Thanks for watching...and thanks for the advice,I usually never do that but I was filming one handed...

[ronop1]

yea you got that s&w like mine.. very good gun ha.

[JohnWayneColt45]

Sure is,,I love it!!

[deussolinvictus]

Is the firing pin on the hammer or has it been lawyered up with a pin in the receiver itself?

[bill13442]
