Default 686 SSR Pro

Were any of these 6 shot cylinders cut for moon clips from the factory?

All the 686 PRO SSR I have seen came from the factory set up for IDPA/SSR (hence the name) which does not allow moon clips on .38 (minor power). You will see the heavier Model 610 with moon clips at matches shooting .40 S&W.

I personally don't see the point in moon clips on .38 in a 686, when 9mm with clips is now factory available as the 986. YMMV
