    Question Moon Clips

    I think (not 100% sure) that they machine out/recess the rear face of the cylinder for moonie clips only.

    I guess they'd have to do that QK but - still seems an odd combination - rimmed ammo and moonies.

    Still - way to go for speedloading I guess

    .357 on moonclips is how our old friend Jerry puts 12 shots on target in like 2 seconds, well that and he's the best revolver shooter that has ever existed and probably ever will exist.

    I think most of his tricks are now done with a seriously tricked out 625, but I've seen video of him with other models.
