For those not into pistols (like me), could you explain the "with moon clips.", where are they, what do they do etc
and also, how did they convert the pistol from 455 to 45ACP ?




The conversion done when that brought these over after WW1 I believe
was done by shaving off the back of the Cylinder to except Moonclips which look like this
http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/144819/ranch-full-moon-clip-45-acp-6-round-blue-package-of-8
and are made to hold the non-rimmed 45acp in place on the shaved cylinder
