Other than S&W, what other manufacturers make a .45 revolver?
you might try just looking at the maufactures websites....
A .45 ACP Revolver would make a potent Home Defense Gun that would be more reliable than any auto on the market...
True. It would be more reliable at least as potent. It just seems to me that it would be less hassle to use a revolver chambered in .45 Colt. You would get about the same oomph and not have to fool with moon clips. Or am I missing something?
45acp ammo can be found nearly anywhere vs 45LC, as for moon clips I use Rimz from ezmoonclip, they're easy to use, won't break. If you have a S&W in 45 colt send it back to them and have a acp cylinder fitted then you'll be able to shoot either.

^^^^^While a revolver has the capability of being very reliable, I'll have to disagree with this broad and sweeping remark.
Typically, a revolver failure will be more catastrophic and harder to clear than a failure by a semi-auto. I love my revolvers. I love my semi-autos. None of them are 100% reliable.
As far as .45 ACP revolvers go, I think it's a decent option, especially if you typically carry a .45 ACP bottom feeder.
45LC cost about three times as much money to shoot would be my consideration for wanting a 45ACP
