Finally crossing over from ICORE Classic to Limited 6. Picked up a 625 Performance Center and am in need of a moonclip rack and/or moonclip holders.

From what I can tell, there are a couple common options:

  • North Mountain 4/5 Post Rack - $130-$165 - uses tension against the main plate for retention, relies on double stacking for capacity. Posts are straight up/slightly towards shooter. Holds 8/10 moonclips.

  • Speed-e-Rack - $145 - uses magnets to retain the moonclips; usable for 625 and 686 (if I decide to have my cylinder milled for moonclips). Posts face out from shooter. Holds 7 moonclips.

  • Speed Beez Rack - $160 - uses magnets; usable for 625 and 686. Posts are straight up. Holds 8 moonclips.

  • Double Alpha Moon Clip Holders - $26 each - uses magnets, specific to 625, does not allow moonclips to spin freely, and spacing is adjustable. Leaves less room for gut, but is a non-issue for me. Posts are straight up but angles can be adjusted left or right, and spacing is adjustable. Holds as many moonclips as I buy holders for.

  • Moonclip Server - $140 - spring loaded rack and can load from the same exact position every time, but only holds six. Moving parts.
I've talked to the guys I shoot ICORE with and the opinions are all over the place. Most end up settling on a set of Double Alpha Moon Clip Holders, the Moonclip Server, or the Speed Beez Rack. Personally, I'm leaning towards the DA holders on a dedicated belt, or the Speed-E-Rack. I like that the DA holders are molded specifically for the 625 moon clips for consistent orientation.

If I end up upgrading to a Limited/Open gun, it will likely be a 929, and will need a different rack anyway.

So revo competitors, which Rack do you like and why?
 
North Mountain for me. For my reloads, my hand always went to the same place for my moon clips. On stages where all ammo had to start on the table it was easiest to grab some moons and put them on the North Mountain while moving.
 
Years ago, in my USPSA days, one of my fellow shooters built his own moonclip holders. Some nuts,bolts, spacers, and some strong, round magnets bolted through some holes in his belt and the job was done. The magnets were positioned so the rounds in the moonclips faced inward. He would pluck them off as necessary. It seemed to work very well for him. I never saw him lose a mooclip while shooting, so I guess the magnets were strong enough. He invited me to try it, so I plucked one off his belt. It took a just strong enough pull that you had to grip the moonclip firmly, but was easy enough to be competitive.
