I own two revolvers that take moon clips: a S&W Model 1950 and a real nice S&W Model 1917.

I only shoot them on the range. I have no need for rapid reloads. I don't compete with them and I don't carry a revolver concealed. However I don't find the clips to be really annoying. I believe I bought my clips from Dillon Precision. I load and unload them by hand. It doesn't take long and isn't difficult in any way. That being said, for me it just adds an extra step in the process of shooting the revolvers.

In the future I intend to buy .45 Auto Rim cases, and quit using the moon clips. But then again, I don't really shoot those two revolvers all that much so maybe it would be a waste of time and money......who knows.

Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
