Moon clips

[owejia]

Has anyone tried the plastic moon clips in the old rimless 45's. I just bought a s&w 1917 Brazilian contract and have shot it with the steel moon clips which are a pain to unload spent brass from.

Do you reload? You could always get some .45 auto rim brass and not need to fool with moon clips.

Yes I reload. Just trying to keep everything as simple as possible. Have 45 acp semi automatic and thought it would be cheaper to just buy and use the plastic moon clips.

Moon clips are the ****. I highly recommend them.

And this is what you need to load and unload the clips. Saves your fingers.

It is well worth the $50.

There is a little tool you can use to load/unload moon clips. I've seen the handmade also from a piece of pipe. I haven't tried any plastic moon clips. I wasn't aware they were available. I have a Brasillian as well. They are one of the most underrated Smith and Wessons.

Www.ezmoonclip.com is the website.

Seems to be a good product. No tools needed to load or unload and no worries about bending them.

Looks like a great product to me. Kinda of a shoddy website, though. I might have to try some.

I had better results calling him directly. The website is kind of weird.

I was worried at first. Then I watched the videos on the website. How could you not trust a guy making videos in his socks??
