Firstly, the accuracy with .45 ACP is fine out to 25 yards and it seems to depend greatly on what ammo you shoot. Federal Aluminum? Awful past 15 yards, keyholes actually. PPU? Great.Yeah, I saw some of those complaints.
But worse was Ruger's decision to use proprietary .45acp moon clips, rather than the same moon clips that work in the S&W .45acp revolvers, like the 625s.
I hope Ruger doesn't do the same thing with this 10mm/.40 SRH. An owner should be able to use the same 10mm moon clips he used, or could've used, in the S&W 610.
As for the moon clips, Ranch Moon makes them, 8 pack for $8 on Midway. They're tough as hell to pull the empty cases out, but going in they're fine. I'm going to experiment with them and cut a slot in between each clip like Ruger does and see if it makes it any easier to remove the cases.
I have no doubts Ruger will continue to make proprietary clips for their revolvers. $5 for a Ruger clip when it costs them less than a dollar to make equals a lot of profit.
