Magazines for Revolvers?

I like revolvers and I like the .45 ACP caliber, so I occasionally carry either a Colt or Ruger using cylinders in .45 ACP.


One day, Ed Head, operations manager at Gunsite, asked me how I carry my spare ammo in these situations. He then showed me a neat little trick for carrying spare ammo for my revolver.


His trick was quite simple. He reminded me that I own .45 ACP pistol magazines, which can keep between seven and 14 rounds of .45 ACP ammo in an accessible unit.


Just flip open the loading gate and punch out the empties with one hand and line up the top of a loaded .45 magazine with the other. When you punch one out, slip a fresh one into the empty charge hole.

I have an Uberti 45 Colt SAA reproduction, and it came with an extra cylinder in 45 ACP.

Does anybody know if Uberti (or anybody else) makes .45 Auto cylinders for the Uberti .45 Colt SAA reproductions? I have owned one for years, and always complained about the cost of loaded and empty cases for the .45 Colt. Having a .45 Auto cylinder for my SAA would be very welcome.
