    My guess would be that it is a Smith & Wesson M1917, .45 caliber, 5.5" barrel.

    Do realize it requires the use of half or full moon clips as the .45ACP is a rimless cartridge.

    Actually, if you practice the clips actually load about as fast as a speed loader. The short cartridge helps loading speed as well compared to a .38SPL pr .357Mag for instance.
