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
