Moon clip question

[tlawler]

Is there any detriment to using S&W 610 moon clips in a Ruger SRH? The hole in the clip on the Ruger that allows it to clear the hand is smaller than the S&W, so the Ruger clips won't work in the 610, but the 610 clips drop right in the SRH cylinder. The rounds keep the hole centered over the hand and the cylinder closes normally. There is a slight difference in clip thickness, .030" for the Ruger and .033" for the S&W. I've got a bunch of 610 clips, but only a few SRH clips.

Only one way to really know,

I would think if the rounds chamber without issue, the cylinder rotates smoothly and nothing binds, you should be good to go. The clips are only a vehicle to get the ammo in the gun.

I use full moons on both my 1917 and 625. There is a lot of variance from brand to brand and both my guns accept every one I have found! For 45ACP, Brownell's has bags of 100, maybe they have bulk in 10mm also.

If the clipped rounds will fit and and the hammer aligns, of course they'll work
