whats a moon ring?

[LowKeyLanding]

@georgeevans18 You appear to be getting two terms mixed up. An o-ring is a rubber seal in the shape of an 'O'. It is a round elastic ring, used for sealing pipe, shafts, etc.. A 'moon clip' or a 'half moon clip' is a small, round metal piece that holds a total of 6 rounds of 45 acp, and was used by the military in revolvers in the early 1900s to hold the rimless 45 acp rounds. The clips provided a way to shoot 45 acp in a revolver chambered for 45 Colt.

will those moon clips work in a revolver?

[LowKeyLanding]

@quicklady They are not moon clips, although they work in a similar fashion. They are rubber o-rings. They will not work in a revolver because they make the cylinder to tight to turn. Revolvers that are made to use the clips have a bigger gap on the back side of the cylinder. When the Super Comanche is closed on the o-ring, it is compressed.

@LowKeyLanding thank u i wont be asking the gun shop for a moon ring now ;P

@vinosd773 yea it has a pretty good rate of twist, ive shot 45 colts and 410 slugs at 30 yards out of it and hit pie plate size targets.

[vinosd773]

wait a minute, tell me is the super comanche a riffled barrel?

[vinosd773]

wait i dont get it. so you cant shoot a 45 out of a super comanche? but they are made to shoot 45 long and 410 shotgun shells which would mean it can also shoot 45 short

@LowKeyLanding idk it sounds a little different. You let out abig *sigh* after i posted that comment i had my first shell that blew up in my face. So the sigh is understandable.

[LowKeyLanding]

@blueshiftchess Not at all. I have shot hot reloads and 410 reloads with 1 oz of shot, which is the same shot load as a 20 ga and 12 ga. It kicks like a 44 mag with those loads, but the break open action seems to be pretty tough.
