I'd like to hear from any of our members who have had these conversions done on K-frame S&W .38 Special and/or .357 Magnum revolvers.
I have a couple of K-frames (a "salt-and-pepper" pair of a Model 13 and a Model 65, both with 3" barrels) that I'm thinking of converting to moon-clip operation. Wild West Guns in Alaska does them. However, the good folks at Clark Custom Guns, who also do moon-clip conversions, say they won't do K-frames - only L- or N-frames - because there's not enough metal in the cylinder to do the K-frame conversion "safely". Now, I know that Wild West Guns has done many such conversions, and as far as I know has had no complaints. So, I'm hoping that one or two of the membership have had it done, and can tell us how they found it.
