Paul,
Currently im running 3 Taurus LBR's .38/357, .44 and .45acp. The issue with any Taurus LBR that requires moon clips such as the 30M1 or the .45acp. Is that Taurus dont use standard moon clips or half moon clips. They use there own version called the Taurus Stella clip. It Mic's to a thickness of 0.20 were as a moon clip such as a smith is 0.40 double. This means the Taurus clips have a habit of bending and they arnt cheap. My last lot were £25 for 5 !!!. My advice to anyone considering getting one is to speak to Roding Armoury and get them to do a cylider job on it so you can use Smith clips. I picked up 300 smith clips for mine for $30 from old sarge drop zone. Granted it costs a few hundred to get the work done but smith clips will hardly ever wear out and are easy to get unlike Taurus clips.
