A few months ago, I sent two 3" S&W revolvers - a Model 13 and a Model 65 - up to WildAlaska to have a moon-clip conversion done. Recently (after waiting months to get back surgery over with... :fire: ) I had the chance to wring them out at the range.
I love this conversion! Cases drop free with just a touch of the extractor - no more worrying about one case sticking, the clip holds them all together, and with the added weight on all cases, they fall free easily. Reloading is a snap, much faster than Speed Strips, and faster than any speedloaders I've tried. As a bonus, there's a lip left around the inner and outer edges of the charge holes, so that the revolvers can be used with individual cartridges in the old way, without moonclips, if one so desires.
All in all, I highly recommend this conversion. See here (http://www.moonclips.com/) for details of the conversion, and a list of the dealers who do the work - although having seen the quality of the workmanship, I'm going to continue to use WildAlaska for the rest of my revolvers. Great job, WA, and thanks!
