I'd have every one of my revolvers modified for moon clips, if they were made in every caliber.
One of the joys of shooting the 1917/22/25 family is not having to load or chase individual shells.
That's why I load 45 Auto Rim for my 1917s. How difficult is loading 5 rounds of individual cartridges? And how difficult is ejecting 5 empties into your hand? Or on the floor if you're in a hurry.

As I noted in this thread a number of years ago (https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=551729&highlight=brazilian+sideplate) my early delivery Brazilian 1917 as a late-model wing style hammer block.
There is also absolutely NO evidence the frame or barrel having been originally marked with US military markings which were later removed.

Ah, but then there's the loading of those clips, and shucking the empties out after firing. Always reminded me of shelling peas evenings on the front porch with my Mother.
Now most of my shooting is done with the Single Action, so clips are out.
