re: #357 Feline Fearless Leader

Though you will also find plenty of references of officers carrying their old .455s or even using their father’s ones. So apparently it was possible to get ammo for them.

True. Interestingly, a number of Colt and S&W M1917 .45 ACP revolvers saw service for similar reasons.

In a related note, The Turnbull Manufacturing Company caters on ‘retro’ and has introduced a M1911 designed to match that weapon as was made in 1918.
