Both are .45 LC. Supposedly, Bill Grover got the idea for the extra cylinder from the Eastwood movie, "Pale Rider," where Clint carries an extra loaded cylinder with him that he resorts to after his other is spent. Grover was going to have a holster set up for the spare cylinder, to carry it loaded alongside the pistol on the gun belt.
If anyone has an N-frame .45ACP full moonclip that they could send me, I'd like to check it's fit with the cylinder. It would be a hoot to be able to shoot ACP's in it.

Hamilton Bowen has pictures posted of one he built built.... It was listed as a package at one time... May still be... I believe this is what Axe is referring to: www.bowenclassicarms.com/NEW/Projects.htm#SEDGLEY_LIFT-OUT_CYLINDERIf it doesn't pop up to the correct spot, scroll to the "Sedgley Lift out Cylinder 45 Colt................" |

I think the head space will be all wrong. I will be happy to send you some moon clips. Send me your address.
Thanks for the link on the Segly cylinder

If the gun is set up for 45 Colt, you can't get proper headspace with .45 ACP in the same cylinder. .45 ACP in a moonclip sits way too far out the back of the cylinder to work in a .45 Colt cylinder.
