Unfortunately, those work truly fast and
reliably only with rather squat (larger width-to-length ratio) cartridges, notably the .45ACP.
Watch Jerry Miculek shoot if you don't believe this.
.45ACP revolvers represent only a tiny fraction of the revolvers carried for CCW, however.
Longer, slimmer cartridges like .38 Special/ .357 (and .44 Magnum) just don't stay well stabilized in the moon clips; they tip, and then the clips bend, after which they don't seat well into the cylinder.
They're nowhere near as durable or reliable as magazines.
I have a moonclip conversion on just one revolver, for use with .357/.38 moonclips, and it just ain't as good a solution as speedloaders. I'll not get another one done. Speedloaders are a lot faster than speedstrips (slowstrips) or loading rounds individually, but they're still
lots slower than a magazine reload.
Just sayin'...
