Default 610 Moon Clip Preference

For any of y’all out there using moon clips I am wondering your preferred manufacturer. Speed Beez and TK Custom both seem to have their fans. Looking for a recommendation for a newly acquired 610. Thanks

I've been using a small company in Ohio called Ranch Products, they make some really great stuff for years and are great to deal with. I have used their clips from the late 80's.

Haven't ordered from them in several years, hopefully they are still going strong.

For range use RIMZ poly moon clips work great for my 625 JM. {45 ACP} They probably make 10mm also. No tools needed. I have used Ranch also. Have metal & poly moon clips. Bob

I have been very happy with Ranch Products. I do have TK for .45 acp but never had occasion to buy any for 10mm. I have not been wildly happy with the RIMZ 10mm I have but maybe I just got a bad batch. I found them to be brittle.

TK Custom is the way to go. I prefer the ones without the slots in them. They hold the rounds tighter. I got rid of all my other clips and tools recently and went with TK clips and tools. So much better!

I haven’t opened my S&W OEM moon clips, but a buddy said they are probably TK. Does anyone know?


BTW, I just received a bunch of the Ranch clips, and they were still producing them.

I have Tk Custom clips for all my rimmed cartridges, but I use Ranch Products for my rimless cases. The Ranch are substantially cheaper!

Yes, TK supplies moon clips for many, if not all, new Smith/Wesson revolvers.
