will work if you do it right

The .45 Colt has thin rims so there is not much headspace there. An ACP rim plus thickness of the clip would be too thick to fit. I believe when they modify double action cylinders to work with and without moon clips they leave part of the perimeter of each chamber high enough to support a case by itself, and the rest of the perimeter gets cut down to clear the moon clip.
