TK Custom, an Illinois firm specializing in the manufacturer or Moon Clips and Moon Clip revolver conversions, are now able to convert S&W Model 460 X-Series revolvers to chamber the new .45 RAPTOR cartridge.

You may ask, because the 45 RAPTOR has the same performance as the .460 S&W, why would you do this? For a start it means you could use the same high powered big bore hunting cartridge with your semi-automatic carbine and your hunting handgun, secondly it has the added advantage of being able to use Moon Clips, enabling much faster reloading of the handgun.
