Colt New Service, what did I buy?

[browningautorifle]

Did the .45acp guns have stepped chambers?

Yes, they could chamber a cartridge without the little half clips and then you'd need a clearing rod or use the clips and eject them. They headspace on the case mouth. .45 ACP would be my preference. I have several clips I can throw in an envelope and mail you...

Thank You! I would greatly appreciate that, I can PM you my address. I found 500 pieces of once fired large pistol primer brass for a not ridiculous price, just need to find a decently priced 230 grain mold, I already have .452" and .454" sizers.
