Description:
When the United States entered World War I, the government arsenals were not prepared to issue the standard Colt Model 1911 .45 caliber automatic pistol in the numbers required. The most expedient fix was to have Colt and Smith & Wesson alter their large frame double action revolvers to take the rimless .45 ACP government cartridge used in the auto pistol. Because this round lacked a rim for the star extractor of the revolver to grab for extraction of fired cases, the "half-moon" three round clip was devised. This spring steel clip held three rimless cartridges in the extraction groove and allowed them to be quickly loaded into the cylinder. When the cartridges were fired the extractor easily pushed the shells from the cylinder for reloading. .45 Auto
