I have both the PC 686 Plus and 586 L-Comp.
With a 586 L-Comp and Speer Gold Dot you want the carbon steel moon clips sold by S&W. TK Custom's alloy clips in either thickness struggle with Speer but I don't know about their carbon steel. Hornady I don't know. TK Custom 0.025 seems to be perfect for Federal brass.

Ranch products are good but don't hold the brass nearly as tight as TKs. That's important for quick reloads.

Holding brass tightly does not necessarily reflect quality just the moon clips thickness relative to certain brass. Certain brass works best with 0.020 others 0.025 etc. Winchester will hold 'tight' with 0.025 TK Custom, but good luck getting it back out again.
