Ammo carrier for M1917 Revolver?

[chrisf8657]

Hi guys,

I have a question.
I bought a S&W M-1917 new-issue (Classic series) revolver, and of course they use moon clips.

When they were originally used in WWI and II, how did the users carry additional half-moons or full moons? Speedloader pouch, pocket, etc?

Does someone make a reproduction carrier?

Thanks!

There was a 3 pocket carrier for half moon clips, reproductions are available here:

the originals are scarce and expensive.

I got a really nice reproduction holster from IMA-USA that I'd recommend as well.

I had one years ago, I used an Uncle Mike's double speedloader pouch. It wold carry 4 loaded full moon clips.
