Im waiting on my 1937 Brazilian to become mine and Im getting the goodies for it. Has anyone here used the Rimz plastic moon clips and are they any good? Thanks, Kevin

I have some and they work just fine and I use them all the time and have never had a problem with them.. They are very easy to load and unload the rounds into them.

They work fine in .45 ACP revolvers that have headspace shoulders. In those instances the Rimz clips are simply providing a surface for the extractor to bear on. If you have an early Colt 1917 without headspace shoulders, or a Webley Mk VI, Colt NS, or S&W HE2 that has been converted from .455 to .45 ACP then the Rimz clips provide too much cushion and cause occasional misfires. My early Colt 1917 without headspace shoulders misfires about 15% of the time with Rimz but I've had no misfires with the Colt using steel clips. Conversely, I've experienced no misfires using Rimz clips with a S&W 1917 or Brazilian, due to the headspace shoulders providing a solid resistance to the case being driven forward by the firing pin.

www.ezmoonclip.com has them. Probably available elsewhere as well.

I have over 200 of them. I use them in my pre-25 and my 610. Absolutely no problems with them and they work great. It saves me a lot of time at the range to just load at home and shoot at the range. Much better situation!

They work great in my 1917 and my 1937. They are too tight in my 25-2.

Thanks for the input guys! I will try them instead of fighting with the steel ones.
