Hmmm. Has me rethinking my quest to pick up a Charter Arms Pittbull in 9mm or 40 S&W that doesn't require moon clips. Reviews from the likes of Gunblast, Guntests and others seem pretty positive on the revolver with the exception of a stiff ejector rod.
Maybe I'll wait to see what the 9mm LCR feels like in the hand or just have one of my Smith's converted to shoot 9mm.
The LCRs is actually really nice, got to play with one @ Ark and I'm serously considering picking one up.Quote:

So the 9mm lcr uses moon clips? I figured they might not be needed like the 357/9mm blackhawk convertible.
Most DA revolvers require moon clips for extraction and in some cases headspacing for rimless cartridges. SA revolvers don't have to contend with the challenges the swing out cylinders do. I have a S&W 625 that I can shoot 45 ACP out of without moon clips, but I either need to extract empty cases with my finger or pop the butt of the revolver to get the cases out. I like shooting with moon clips, which I find are faster than a speed loader, but they can be a pain to load and unload until I bought the BMT Mooner, which makes life very easy.
Ok, I didn't think about ejecting the rimless empties. Obviously not a problem on the SA's
