327 Performance Center Moon Clips?

[LGer]

My first post and I really feel like I am asking a dumb question. Here goes anyway....

I just traded for a Performance Center 327 357 Magnum and someone asked me: "Does it need the 8 shots moon-clip to load the weapon ?"

I honestly don't know. I wouldn't bother you with this question but I am Googled out. I can't find the answer. It didn't come with a manual. Will someone please help? Thank you!

Either Way

I have the Perf Ctr 627, and it loads and shoots just fine with or without the clips.

The moon clips are generally for fast reloads in comp. events. They take up a lot of space in your pocket for walking around. But, for quick loading or reloads they can't be beat. Bob

Whew...... I was thinking that for this particular model the clips were NEEDED as a spacer to bring the primer closer to the firing pin. Thank you very much guys! I will probably get some but it is nice to know that I don't NEED them. You have been very helpful!

I recently purchased a Performance Center 327 357 Magnum and wondered the same thing. First, I am not a fan of the moon clips but thought I would try them. I also purchased a Speed Beez loader and case. I loaded the case with 3 sections of 38 specials with moon clips, the rest with 38 & 357 cartridges only. At the range I loaded the 327 using the moon clips, the speed loader, and cartridges by hand one at a time. For me I will stick with the speed loader as this was the easiest to do.
