There are a few 10+ round solid .45’s out there.
FWIW, the other day I made an interesting discovery:
a standard 10 rd 7.62 stripper clip will hold 8 .45 cartridges (can’t get them around the bend and still get them out - so four on one end, and four on another). Not much help on speed loading, but for keeping 8 together handily...

Thanks. Yeah I know about the 10 rounders, but dislike that they hang below the grip. I am a very good shot, and have been in a firefight or two (former LEO). If I need more than my normal 8+1 (plus 2 extra mags) I am in real trouble.

Thanks for the info on the stripper clips too. That could come in handy
