It got very annoying very quickly, almost sold it. After some research I found guys are using .32-20 brass instead of the .30 to get rid of sticking cases, but that only works on new model Blackhawks. I also went to 125gr bullets for it. The standard is 90 or 110. While researching that I found guys are shooting cast 135 to 150 out of it. I don't like shooting cast, just a personal preference. And one of these days I will send it out to have the barrel cut down to 4 5/8", they are only available in 7 1/2.
I have a .45/.45 convertible, I have never used the acp cylinder. The standard Blackhawk grips are ok, unless you are shooting hot .357/.45 colt or .44 mag. Then you want a bisley grip, a little bigger and far more comfortable for the higher powered loads.

So how does the .30 shoot compared to the others? I don't really like the 7-1/2 barrel ...seems a bit much, plus 4lbs of hand gun is a lot for me wee arms. ;D I do like the sound of the 45 convertible though. That might be up my alley. I have the .45 auto stuff already...just need to add the 45 colt. Damn....might have to get a cowboy lever action too to complete the tri-fecta :wackysmile:
Of course...like YOU said...I probably never even use the .45 auto cylinder.. so why bother. I have two 45 autos already so just get the cowboy guns and be done with it. Damn this is an expensive hobby.
I thought the reloading bench was supposed to SAVE me money :lol: (well I didn't really think that...just lets me shoot more...and leads to me wanting more things to shoot with.)
I'll admit I got a little carried away this past year or so. Added the .357 Henry stainless, progressive reloading bench, Colt .45 1911 Gold Cup, M&P 15-22 (which is very fun), and finally a real shotgun;12ga Mossberg 930 Jerry Miculek Pro
More gun stuff than I've purchased in the last 10 years combined. I blame it on Covid and the downfall of society (or more likely just a bit of that middle-aged crisis)

technically, the .30 carbine is considered a magnum round in a handgun, but it’s weaker than the .38 special. It does have a nice bark to it though. It’s just something different. It was ineffective as hell against the Chinese army in their winter uniforms at Chosin, and that was with a 16” barrel.
.32 H&R and .327 federal are both magnum rounds and I wouldn't use them on anything bigger than a ground hog, so don't judge based on just the name
