The Smith & Wesson 3013767 Moon Clip system transforms revolver reloading speed for competitive shooters and tactical applications. These precision-engineered clips eliminate the fumbling associated with individual cartridge loading, delivering consistent 8-round capacity in seconds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard speed loaders that require alignment and twist mechanisms, these full moon clips hold cartridges in perfect cylinder spacing from the moment they're loaded. The one-piece steel construction maintains cartridge alignment under recoil stress and provides instant ejection when the cylinder is opened. Competitive shooters report reload times under 3 seconds with proper technique.
Key Features
- Holds 8 rounds of .357 Magnum ammunition in precise cylinder spacing
- Heat-treated steel construction rated for 500+ loading cycles
- Compatible with Smith & Wesson N-frame revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum
- Full-circle design supports cartridge rims completely around circumference
- Thickness optimized at 0.036 inches for smooth cylinder insertion
- Facilitates simultaneous loading and ejection of all 8 rounds
- Five clips included for extended range sessions or competition stages
These moon clips excel in USPSA revolver division competition where reload speed determines stage times. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the consistent reload performance under stress conditions. The clips function reliably with both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges, though headspace considerations favor magnum cases. Temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F don't affect clip tension or cartridge retention.
