The governor kinda like that.
What was the .45 acp pistol they made when they couldn't make 1911's fast enough. I know after ww2 you could buy rimmed .45acp for it .

Ben the revolvers that you are referring to were the S&W and Colt Model 1917's. The Smith and Wesson was built on what we now call the N Frame and the Colt was on their large frame which they referred to as the New Service. The .gov couldn't get enough 1911's made. I believe it was Doug Wesson who came up with the half moon clips which allowed 45ACP rounds to be fired in these revolvers. This was WWI not WWII. After the war Peters (Remington) came out with the 45 Auto Rim which was a rimmed version of the .45 ACP, sporting a 230 gr round nose lead bullet and the identical ballistics of the 45 ACP.
Back in the day, when revolvers ruled, the half moon clips (full moons wouldn't debut until @ 1980's I believe) were considered to be a PIA and even though we see them as a type of speed loaders today, people just didn't think that way which is why the .45 Auto Rim was so popular.
Both revolvers were great guns and very cheap when they became surplus although both saw service in WWII (the Colt not so much with the military). Ben I remember seeing barrels (like in beer barrels) of them at Dave Cook Sporting Goods in downtown Denver, Colorado back in the early 1960's. Your choice: Colt or S&W for $29.95. and yes...the barrels were right out in the aisle, you could pick out the one you wanted at your own leisure.
S&W made other revolvers for the .45 ACP/45 Auto Rim and made several revolvers in recent times in their Classics Series: The Thunder Ranch Model which they called the Model of 1950 (which was a refinement of the 1917 with the short action which was marketed up thru the 1960's but never sold well because everyone wanted .357s and .44 Magnums) and the Model of 1917 which incorporates the modern S&W revolver internals. I have them both and really like to shoot both.
A Glock with a squeeze cocker like the HK P7M13. (My standard answer every time.)
Huh huh huh He said "squeeze cocked"

I had a recent LTC class of college-age kids. It was like this the whole class.
"Cock"
"Decock"
"Over penetration"
"Lubricant"
I guess now I know what I like guns so much.
Talk about outing your self.

What caliber and gauge would you use? If you used anything more than 410, you'd need it to be an AOW. I think that's part of why nobody has done it yet.A modern Lemat.
a rifle caliber revolver....think 5.56, 7.62X54R or for shits and giggles a 12GA revolver.....
how about you guys?
An affordable Semi-Auto STG-44 clone
YES !! just to see the 1911 fan boys fall overa Glock 1911
Magnum Research has made them for quite a while. You can get a BFR in .30-.30, .444 Marlin, .45-.70, and .450 Marlin.
Ruger also makes a .30 carbine revolver.
There is the 22.
Boris told me there was one in 7.62x39 but it never really sold and stopped being imported . If you look at how there made you'd understand the cost . And why the Germans where trying to get a replacement .
I wanna see that damn 30 caliber clip toting ghost AR 47 glock assault rifled shotgun the libturds keep swearing at and getting their panties all twisted over
