10mm Revolvers

[REDLINE]

Isn't that kinda like saying that the .45acp isn't a good Revolver Cartridge ?

Yup.  Doesn't mean it can't or doesn't work.

Without moonclips?

Without moonclips?

Depends on the Wheelgun
Some do and some don't
Ruger .45acp and 9mm(s) are without
S&Ws are mostly with

Even if a DA wheelgun can be used without, you may have issues with ejection, or may not have ejection.

Still, for target work, or general skills work at the range, it is nice to not chase brass.

[DenStinett]

That's my bad
Not sure that the 9mm SP101 is Moon Clip Free
The two Rugers I was thinking of at the time were the Blackhawks

[MCQUADE]

I forgot one...the Korth revolver, I believe they are still made but no longer offer a 10mm. American Handgunner did a write up on them in oct. 1990. Wow, seems like yesterday.

I've never heard of possible ejection problems with moonclip use. I know they would all have to eject at the same time.

Sorry if I wasn't clear...I was referring to wheelgun use without moon clips, for those that support it.  Some plain don't eject, and the ones that do are hit and miss, hence the desire to always use moon or half moon clips.

No ejection issues with S/A (Ruger) revolvers.  There are other options for rimless cartridges (without moon, or 1/2 moon clips), but none offered in 10mm or any modern cartridge.  There is a way to "add a rim" to a rimless cartridge, if that's what you really want.

I'm guessing that is not an option if you don't reload.

No, you don't have to reload.  PM me if you want to do this, and have a "need to know".  I'm working on a patent, and don't mind sharing the concept to serious shooters who will use it, but don't want it "public", just yet (don't want google all up in my business, if you know what I mean).

[gandog56]

Well, I would have no objection to getting a 10mm revolver that didn't need moon clips, I just never have. Both my 10's are 1911's.

[DM1906]

Moon clips have their advantage, and disadvantage, depending on need or want.  Beneficial for a D/A revolver, irrelevant for a S/A revolver.  Moon clips are, essentially, a speed loader with fewer moving parts, but they don't fit in a S/A revolver (in any practical fashion).  Individual cartridges are required for S/A's, but slow to load into a D/A.

I never even used my speed loader for my Taurus .357 mag. Too much trouble.
