Back in the late '70s I had 2 of these beasts.
A .455 and a ".45scp" model - used the chamber clips.
At that time they were fairly plentiful and dirt cheap. .455 surplus ammo was around, loud & smoky,great fun - and I was told to shoot nothing stronger than .45acp wad-cutter target rounds thru the .45acp pistol.

Fun to shoot. Heavy piece with little recoil.
Easy to imagine being Brit officer standing up to the heathern horde charging the barricades!

Sold them on and have nothing but good memories - of course I remember paying around $125 & $150 respectively...with holsters and a cleaning kit for each...included 2 half-moon clips as well.
Sold them for around the same price - they were not scarce back in the day.
The .38 model was the scarce one I think.
