I have been wanting one since they hit the streets....
So I pulled the TRIGGER today....Heh Heh and brought this one home....
You can shoot it with or without the moon clips......
The cylinder has been machined to accept the moon clips.....
A regular speed loader will work also..... :D

I'm not a revolver guy, yet. Why the moon clips option? What advantage do they offer? I understand they are necessary on 9mm model revolvers, but why on the 38?

Moon clips are just another way of a quick reload....
I really don't plan on using them.....They came with the gun....
Some folks like to carry extra rounds but I don't....Just more stuff to carry...

How many shots does one need to go raccoon hunting.... :p :p :p
