Speed loader or full moon clip

[HarrishMasher]

I'm a data point of exactly one -- and all that that implies -- but worth adding to the conversation that I've pocket carried moon clips for years (and I'm an active fellow) and never had one damaged; I think they're a lot more durable for every day carry than given credit for. I've only found flimsiness to be an issue when making the mistake of trying to insert or remove rounds without a tool.

You do lose the ability to do a partial reload, but gain the ability to do a tactical one.

I have at least one loaded moon clip in one of my pockets on any given day. I have never had a single problem, or the slightest bit of damage done to one of them. I bang into stuff all the time in my office/warehouse. They are made of steel, granted thin steel, but in my experience it takes a deliberate act to damage one. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'll respectfully disagree.

I believe there IS an intrinsic difference between moon clips and speedloaders.

Of course, practice can and will narrow the gap, but nothing can beat speedloaders.

I think you meant to say moon clips and not speedloaders? The rest of your argument, though not shown, is all about how moon clips are faster.

FWIW, I don't know of any reputable defensive shooting instructors that recommend using moon clips in a revolver intended for self-defense.
