These may be a bit old but they are still good.
Bottom one is an I frame I think.

Being without a S&W Snub had me looking at this thread & WOW!! It really made my stomach hurt thinking about all the fine snubbies I had to sell off..
I'll have a few more one of these days..
Thanks for the great pictures..

J-Frame Pictures
This is my "9640," a 640 fitted with a 940 cylinder and extractor. The clips are factory S&W cut into 1/4 moons and carried in a Case Logic Nintendo game pouch insert with Mini-Maglite lanyard. Super accurate and really cool!

That is a very novel approach to carrying spare ammo. How does it work for you when reloading?
BTW, nice gun.

Pardon me for being obtuse but how do you "make a quarter moon" with a five shot revolver? Does the pouch only hold four loose rounds or is there something I am not seeing in the photos?
I do like the concept of the 9mm in a 640.

Thanks for the compliment. I do like the gun very much. More about this idea can be found at the following site, along with more info on my mod under the heading 2camsam:
S&W 940
Reloading is not nearly as fast as it would be with full moons, but they don't get bent in my pocket, either. The lanyard ring is the first thing I grab when pulling the whole thing out of my pocket and it keeps the pouch from slipping out of my hand. The reloading process is too weird to describe, but it does work.
The term 1/4 moon clip is indeed inaccurate in this case as there would be a round missing from a full reload, but I couldn't think of anything better to call them. I think I actually called them 1/3 moons on the other post-maybe mini moons is better
Good to hear from a fellow Texan, by the way-and I agree that nickeled job of Bob's with the white grips sure is sweet. Church gun if ever there was one!

That's a beautiful gun! The 642 was only made with a clear anodized frame for one year, so they aren't very common. But in my opinion it's the best version of the 642, with a finish that's better looking and more durable than the later -1 or -2 versions. The factory discontinued the early model because they had problems matching the anodized frame to the stainless steel cylinder and barrel, but it looks like you got a great one--the finish is so well-matched that it could pass for an all-stainless Model 640!
Your pictures (and the grips on your gun) are better than mine, but here is my 642 no-dash:

It's stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The earliest Model 60s were made that way, but S&W soon switched to the brushed finish found on most stainless revolvers today.

Though I've owned many different J-frame revolvers over the years, I currently own just one, this M&P340. I keep it stoked with Remington .357 Magnum 110gr SJHPs.
