You're right 404, I stand corrected.

Didn't mean to rain on your parade Bruce, but I knew who that was right away because I'm a big revolver fan and have enjoyed watching Miculek for some time now. BTW, he was using a S&W 625 .45ACP with full moon clips, no speed loaders needed.

Back in the day I shot competition PPC matches and the occasional combat match for the prison with a fellow officer and gunsmith friend of mine. We both used revolvers exclusively and did quite well against most of the auto loaders. Reloading a cylinder with speed loaders as fast as an auto takes a lot of endless practice standing in the living room every night with your holster on and dropping empties on the rug.

Hummm...maybe that's why I'm not married anymore....nah.

Full moon clips? (not a revolver owner)

The .45 ACP (Autoloading Colt Pistol) round is designed with a recessed rim for auto loaders and as such they would not seat in the cylinder of a revolver. The rounds can clipped into the moon clips shown here and then you can just drop all 6 rounds into the cylinder of revolver chambered for the .45 like a ready made speed loader. The tool shown with the clips is for extracting the spent shells from the clip, kind of like a little pry bar, since they click in fairly tight. You can get full, half and even quarter moon clips but why anyone would want the latter is beyond me.
