Putting the loaded moon clips in a pill bottle (as some suggest) just made them bulkier and harder to get too. In the end ( once the novelty wore off) I just didn't see where the 9mm snubbie had anything significant over the cheaper and easier to find +P rated 38 flavor. I have no desire for another but I do believe S&W is missing the boat by not offering one to those who do.
