That’s how I always looked at it. Also your primer pockets get stuffed with media.

taptap, yep we got a disagreement, except that "most people" will have to work harder to be as competitive with speedloader guns. It is just a longer learning curve. And "IF" you are luckiy enough to get a lot of guys classified in the same class, moonclipped or not one will be competitive in that class. You don't have to have a moonclipped 45 to have fun and compete. I am trying my 45 at major to see if I can move up a little. So far it has been a wash for me, But I am still learning. later rdd LOL Well, I did predict this. It sounds like you are saying you can still have fun but it will be more difficult with speed loaders (I would agree). I'm sure you are you not saying Jerry Miculek has made a mistake and could be a better shooter if he would abandon the moon clips?

I’m sure there will be some disagreement but I can’t imagine that most people could be completive with a non-moon clip setup when competing against those that have it. I am just getting started with my 4” 646 but I can see that I am going to really like this setup. I had a 610 and liked it but I felt it was unnecessarily heavy.

I had to long load to get my 10 round Tripp mags to function in my 40 STI (at Tripp’s’ suggestion) It helped but were still unreliable when fully loaded. I had to switch to the 9 rounders and load them only to 8.

I took my wife to a match last fall with a similar issue. She was simply a spectator. She got "fragged" pretty good, drew blood at her shoulder. You can never be too careful.

Hi guys. I just finished Brian's book and I'm very happy to find this site. I started shooting action pistol 1 year ago and now that the snow is going away here I'm ready to get at it again. I am lucky to have the space to build a range to practice right in my back yard. I'm going to try and tap some of you for some suggestions on how I might set things up and what I might need. I do collect a little (my wife would say that "a little" is an understatement), mostly older stuff and I also reload. Thanks for having me, Mike
