Okay, I can see that in the SAA 45 Colt cylinder.

In the M1917/625s the 45 CS case rim will be about .040" above the face of the cylinder (a gap) since the case mouth's taper crimp it'll be headspacing on the chamber ledge/shoulder, not the rim, if it's case length is the same as a 45ACP, right?

No ideal if the head strength of the 45CS is as strong as a 45ACP's, since it's a revolver cartridge which normally is fully supported, but I guess with low pressure loads it's not a problem?
