S&W revolvers chambered in rimless cartridges.

Good information above. Let's all remember the cartridges mentioned above are not "rimless" but have a "rebated" rim, otherwise they would not work in moon clips (or extract in semi-auto pistols, if anyone owns one of those) :).
 
Several gunsmithing companies have milled Model 629 cylinders for moon clip loading .44 Magnum/Special. A few competitors have used them in local matches. Similar to .357 and .41 Magnum moon clips the draw back is expensive easily bent moon clips. Full moon clips for rimmed revolver cartridges are so thin that they are easily bent while filling and emptying them. Even slightly bent mainspring energy is wasted flattening them out before ignition. Around my neck of the woods competitors that buy custom guns lighten their double action pull to the point that the mainspring will only reliably set off Federal primes so you might not find it problem with a stock mainspring.

No other moon clip loading revolver is as fast to reload as an N frame .45. Round nose bullets and thin walls between chambers allow the moon clips to be tossed into chamfered chambers with a slight spin with the process in your peripheral vision. Moon clipped .357s are slow because longer cases result in bullet noses further out of alignment and you have to look at the cylinder to get them all in the chambers. Using shortened .38 Special brass helps. Also, locally, in our "revolver friendly" matches the 7th and or 8th chambers have to left empty so the cylinder has to be closed carefully so the first loaded chamber rotates up behind the barrel. The advantage to .357s is they can be loaded down to recoil less than a spit wad.

One of our best competitors uses a Performance Center Model 686 six shot .38 Super. That's a classy match revolver.

Yeap, I agree with you, been competing in USPSA Revolver division since 2006 and recently been playing with IDPA also.

Started competing with my 610 6.5-inch using 40S&W. Later I landed a good deal on a 625 5-inch. Definitely the most fun revolver I own and I agree the fastest reloading revolver going. USPSA changed the rules in 2014 allowing the 7 & 8 shot revolvers to play. That de-throned the 625 as the best revolver to have and the 8-shot 627/327/R8 and the new 929 quickly dominated the division. I picked up a 627 just before the rule change and have been using that loaded with 38 Short Colt in competition since. The 38 Short Colt does load a lot easier than 38 Special or 357 Magnum and the shorter cases seem to bend moonclips alot less often. I can still reload my 625 slightly faster but the two extra shots make the 627 more competitive.

I think I get what you are talking about but in the industry 9x19mm, 40S&W, 10mm & 45 ACP are all consider rimless. Yes they still have a rim but it is the same diameter as the base of the case and thus called "rimless".

There are cartridges that have rebated rims and in those cases the rim is smaller in diameter than the base of the case body. 50AE and 50GI and 450 Bushmaster are good examples of cartridges with rebated rims.

38 Super is actually a semi-rimless cartridges as the cartridge looks very similar to a rimless cartridge like 9x19mm but the rim is actually .022 inch larger in diameter than the case body. 25 ACP and 32 ACP are also examples of semi-rimmed cartridges.

Then there are the typical rimmed cases like 357 mag and 44 Mag etc.
 
I think there are some European S&W made for 9x19 or 9x21? I believe I saw someone in Europe post pictures of a 686SSR in these calibers.
 
Every revolver should be able to use moon clips. There is no faster way to load one. Just my $.02.

Korth sells 9 mm yoke and cylinder assemblies as an accessory for Model 686s. That's probably what you saw. If the idea tempts you, be warned, they are expensive.
 
All this talk needs more pictures.

Here's my 940 and 3" 547. Notice that the 547 has a pinned barrel and patent number. This makes it an early one.
