Who makes TK Custom's moon clips?

[serger]

Are they done in house or farmed out? I just got back a 625-9 and the TK clips load easy, and fit well. I've got a bunch of no name ones for the 1917's and for the most part they are not concentric. It doesn't bother the 1917's but they will not fit in the recessed area of the 625. I fitted a half dozen of the no names and finally said screw it, I've got reloading to do.

So anyway, does TK do it to it in house? Or who's their source?

If I'm reading the web content correctly, it appears they make them in house. See link....

I read that but thought they just stamped their brand "TK" onto the clips. I was hoping Ranch Supply made em. I guess I'll just have to order more when I send in the 25-13 cylinder to them. BTW, this conversion is better than buttered toast! Still haven't decided on the 25-7's. Maybe just do one.

Tom Kilhoffer, in Illinois, a retired State Trooper and S&W gunsmith for many many years makes them and they are machined not stamped (my understanding). This is why they cost somewhat more but are very precise quality.

I have used Ranch Products moon clips with all my .45, .40, and 9mm revolvers with no problems whatsoever for over 10 years.
