That is NOT what the .45 ACP 625 was designed for, but if time is not important, unload any way you wish.

Great input here. If you DO shoot in some kind of competition with a revolver and the reloads are part of your timed score, THEN, full moon clips is the ONLY way to go.
I have never used the Rimz plastic version. Only the steel ones. I have no problem "mooning" (the right kind of mooning!) with my hands or "de-mooning" with my 25¢ homemade tool.
If you don't think speed is important then don't gawk at Jerry when he uses full moon clips to work his marvelous works!
Another fly in the ointment might be if you used your M625 (or one of the lightweight variants) for CCW. You may want to throw an extra loaded full moon clip in a pocket just in case. Fastest way to reload a revolver. That is why some folks have their "L" frames converted to accept them!
Food for thought, just don't choke on the bones!
