REVOLVER MOON CLIP CONVERSIONS
These conversions to moon clips are different from the basic moon clip alteration made by Smith & Wesson and others over the last one hundred years. Old style moon clips used to have the entire rear of the faced off so the revolver had to be used with moon clips only and could not be loaded one cartridge at a time. The old style alteration was also limited to cartridges such as 45 ACP with a wide extractor groove whereby the moon clip itself had to be around .040" thick. Tom Kilhoffer of TK Custom has come up with an EDM made, full moon clip that can be used with most rimmed cartridges with an extractor groove under the rim of less that .023". You can now use use fast loading moon clips with everything from rimed 38 special and 357 Magnum, 41 magnum, 44 Special and 44 magnum, and many others including 7 and 8 shot cylinders.
The one thing making these conversions unique is you have the option of loading with moon clips or loading cartridges one at a time just as you do now. When the moon clips are recessed into the cylinder the rim of the cartridge still rests on the outer edge of the original chamber. It is the best of both worlds. One disadvantage is, the thin moon clip does not hold the cartridges as tight as the old, thicker clips so it takes a little wiggling to get them into the cylinder, but it is still six times faster than loading one cartridge at a time.
Some of the revolvers which can be machined for TK moon clips are as follows:
Smith & Wesson J frame 5 shot, K frame six shot, L Frame models 581, 681,586, and 686, "N" frame models 27-28, 57-657, 29, 629, and 625 Colt.
Colt Anaconda.
Taurus model 608 eight shot 38/357 and others.
Ruger models SP-101 and GP 100, Redhawk and Super Redhawk chambered in 44 Magnum, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 480.
..454 Casull/45 Colt revolvers can be cut for moon clips and you can also use a special thick cut clip which will allow you to shoot 45 ACP.
Call for other revolvers (210-494-3063).
***SPECIAL NOTE: If you have a 45 COLT revolver and cut it for moon clips you will also be able to load 45 ACP by using a special extra thick moon clip.
ALL CONVERSIONS ARE $100.00 PLUS $14.00 SHIPPING AND includes THREE MOON CLIPS. All you need to send is the cylinder and not the complete gun which saves considerable money on shipping. Extra clips are available and normally run $40.00 per 10, but some clips cost $30.00 per 5 because they are difficult to make and demand is low. Turn around time is around two weeks or less.
