Which Moon Clips for a 627 PC? (with photo)

RidgwayCO · #1 10-24-2009, 10:00 AM

I just received an older 627 PC that looks like it's been rarely fired. I've never used moon clips before. I know this revolver works without moon clips, but thought I'd try them. Which aftermarket clips are the best? And what about a mooner/demooner tool? Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Ihave routinely usedthe Ranch Products moonclips for $75 per100. If you use Starline brass you willrequire the moreexpensive hearthco moonclips. The mooner pictured on Welcome to TK Custom.com & Moonclips.com works well while a demooner can be made from a length of copper or vinyl tubing or purchased from Brownells.

If you don't want a 100 you can buy them in the 10 pack from Brownells.

Nice looking piece there. I use ranch products moon clips, always had good luck with them. I load without any tools, and I use a wilson combat de-mooner to remove the empties.
