Drillbit Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Could someone tell me the min. and max space between the cartridge face and the recoil shield? This is a 929 revolver using Starline .025 moon clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 You want between .080 to .010. You're gonna want to use thicker moon clips. 035 or .040. Revo supply cost effective TKs real nice twice the price, but real nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc7x7 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 That is correct. 008 .035-.040 clips Revo supply extreme clips are 040 Tks are 035 and I think they have 040 also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TK clips for the short colts are .025. The regular TK 8 shot clips are .035 but do not hold the short colts. The combo of the Star Line short colts, and the TK clips for same, make for some lighting fast reloads. I guess I should mention the reason for my question has to do with the sudden rash of light primer strikes I've been getting lately. I've changed nothing for 3 years and was thinking it maybe due to excusive cylinder end play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolguy Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The 929 is a 9mm gun. Why not run 9mm and .035 or .040 moon clips? Then the headspace would be correct. The 9mm is exactly the same length as 38 Short Colt and would reload just as fast. You might want to check for a broken firing pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillbit Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) I started off with the stock moon clips, then read about the short colts in the reloading forum and gave them a try, I liked the results. The thing is, everything worked fine for three years and then misfires started. I'm going to have to dig deeper.
