This video explains moonclips, their function in revolvers, and their pros and cons. While they enable faster reloads and simultaneous ejection, they are prone to bending and can be difficult to load/unload. Moonclips are essential for revolvers chambered in rimless calibers like 10mm and .40 S&W for proper ejection.
This video showcases the ASG Dan Wesson 715 CO2 Revolver, highlighting its new 2.5-inch and 4-inch barrel variants. The description emphasizes that ASG improved their successful 2016 airsoft revolver by introducing these shorter barrel options and, notably, moonclip compatibility. This suggests a focus on enhanced handling, speed reloading, and potentially a more authentic revolver experience for airsoft enthusiasts.
The Yankee Marshal discusses a shift to .40 S&W in a Chiappa Rhino 40DS for EDC, prioritizing hearing safety after a ruptured eardrum. He highlights .40 S&W's superior barrier penetration over .38 Special and 9mm, backed by personal testing. The video also details the practical advantages of moonclips, including rapid loading/ejection and increased ammo capacity when carried efficiently, especially with a new unloading tool.
The Ruger Redhawk in .45 ACP/.45 Long Colt offers versatility with moon clip support for .45 ACP. Its substantial weight effectively tames recoil for both calibers, though .45 Long Colt presents a more noticeable, yet manageable, kick. The revolver features adjustable sights, rosewood grips, and a refined trigger, making it a compelling, albeit pricey, option for reloaders and backcountry enthusiasts.
