Have S&W Mod 627.. .38/.357 8 shot. Haven't seen loaders for this setup. I assume that without a loader you just struggle to get the clip loaded... or is their a technique??

I've been meaning to order a moonclip loader at www.moonclips.com but haven't gotten around to it. They even have a mpg video file which demonstrates it use. BTW, I also have a 627. Tried the rubber mag loaders, didn't like them. Barely able to use 38sp, really couldn't use 357's because of the length (357 + mag loader = too long, couldn't get past the mag release button).

ooooops, meant cylinder release. :eek:

I just kind of roll the cartridge in with my thumb.

Gary,

I load mine up at home before packing a range bag. I use my bench top. I hold the clip vertical, against the bench, with one hand. Using the other hand, I "roll" the cases in. All the force needed to snap them in, is directed against the bench top.

No more indented thumb!!

I put them on my finger like a ring when I load them up.

Oh, you girls. :)

Try this one http://www.swrevolvers.com/MST.htm :)

Well it works for the boys too. (the ring finger method)

Or you can lay some rounds flat and snap them in by pressing down, though this can get a bit awkward after the first few.

The real bear is unloading them whenyou forget your unloading tool.. talk about sore fingers.

Theres an artical in Guns&Ammo on a new gizmo for that. Check it out.

THANKS... I picked up the Moonsetter and their gizmo for straightening the clips..

I never had a problem with loading, it's unloading without a tool that's tough!
