    No gangster talk here. A clip is used to feed a fixed magazine. Some call it a stripper clip.
    I understood the reference, hence my explanation of both uses of the word however my point still stands. The method of loading a magazine/cylinder is redundant in the context of this conversation. How you put the bullets into the loading device is moot, only the quantity is relevant.
    so it could be taken that revolvers which don't have magazines are not licencable here in Eire.
    Nope.

    By plugging the sixth chamber of the cylinder you reduce the capacity of the firearm to 5 shots, hence legal. No debate or confusion on that matter. That is how it has been for over 11 years now.
    The one this is certainly true, the person the made this five shot rule was a sadistic bas&£&£&£
    Not sadistic, not even uninformed, just poorly informed and listened to only one group above all else because it suited their agenda to do so.
