I've used LOTS of TK Customs' moonclips, in several calibers...and they ARE top-notch...but I've never used any of their .45 ACP 'clips...I have tried the Ranch Products .45 ACP 'clips...didn't like 'em very much...got a couple that were "out of spec" and wouldn't work. Haven't tried the LaPrade, either...the .45 ACP moonclips that work the best for me are the ones I got from Wilson Combat, FWIW....mikey357
i bought a hundred (or so) moon clips from laprade for - what was it $23 or so
a couple that i got that looked a little rusty (storage), and one was a little bent, so i counted them
i think they sent me about 115 clips
at any rate - i bagged up the hundred best looking ones for future use & have been shooting those 15 worst looking ones of the bunch - no problems
i think that clips from ranch products might have a better finish on them, but at just under a quarter a piece from LaPrade - i dont worry too much about that.
now - i understand that the 627 clips are a lot thinner, prone to damage, & more expensive ($3 a clip), the 610 clips are also more expensive (also in that $3 a clip range) if i shot one of those i might feel differently

Check out the nickle-plated Wilson Combat moon clips from Brownell's or direct from Wilson.

DON'T do like i did and fax a order in with a credit card number on the sheet!
they dont take credit cards!!!!
Call the guy up & say what you want & ask about shipping costs, then mail in a check or money order to him.
It will save you a couple of days (before he finally gets around to calling you up & says - "hey we dont take credit cards")
REAL nice guy to talk to, but come on, no credit cards?

i didnt think bout that, but you are right - his number is not in his ad
i had it at one time (it showed up on caller ID when he called me to tell me they didnt take credit cards)
perhaps you should just send in $3 or 4 extra for shipping.... that should cover it
i also got his little demooning tool (little bent piece of metal - works ok, considering its only $4)
he sent mine out in a small envelope USPS, everything together had $3.50 postage on it or something like that.
