WWI .455 cal. S&W revolver question.....

[jmoore]

On the Jouster forum thread Emri states that it's .45 Colt, not .45 ACP. Depending on how the conversion was done, it may still be possible to shoot .455 ammo. (The difference being whether the additional metal removal required for the rims was done by counterborre or by facing off the rear of the cylinder.)

.45 ACP conversions hurt value the most. .45 Colt not a whole lot if the markings on the rear of the cylinder are reasonably intact. Actually, the value loss is obscured in the general price variability "noise". There's a fairly wide range and there's no rhyme or reason to it! Junkers bring as much or more than good ones- sometimes!
