    Do you need a moon clip or some kind of spacer to shoot it in a 45acp shaved cylinder.

    I have read some about this but have no personal experience. Maybe someone else can chip in with advice.

    Great news - the Webley sales went very well - we are almost completely sold out. We were able to get a second order from them and it will arrive on Monday. Place your orders now and we will ship to you on Monday some orders will ship out on Friday as we have a few boxes left.

    you need a moon clip as the ACP has no rim on it. You also need to reload load 45acp as modern ammo is too strong for the Webley.

    ^This As I understand it the SAAMI specs for modern .45 acp ammo significantly exceeds the capacity of a .455 Webley. The fact that more of these converted guns haven't blown up is a tribute to the manufacturer. If you are going to shoot one of these shaved cylinder .45 acp guns be sure to use very light handloads.

    Yes that is all correct. I already shoot reduced 45 acp loads with the aid of moon clips. I am looking to see if there is away to shoot the original 455 webley ammo out of the now shaved cylinder. ..I'm think I would need a moon clip to make up for the head space being to much
