Hello all, this is my first post here(I post on alot of forums but have just gotten around to registering and posting here, a guys gotta sleep sometime don't he? )
Recently I bought a Ruger Speed Six and have begun the search for the ever elusive "moon clips" of whichever sort will work in it. I read alot of the posts here and got some info from another forum that La Prade has them, any first hand knowledge of that? any S&W clips that'll work? How bout 1/2 and 1/3 moon type?
Saw someone who wanted pics etc so here's a link to a album of pics(I'm no photog so they aren't as well lit as I'd like, I'll have to upgrade them someday )
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=648539&a=12173116
Anyone know when the speed six was discontinued? also any other info is appreciated as to date codes, possible modifications, etc(I know I'm asking for alot)I read that there was a limited production run of these for the Coast Guard,any truth to that?
My current plan is to send it to Dane Burns for a conversion job to 9x23(see a thread titled "9x23 in s&w 940?" at the 1911forum general discussion forum for more info on that)
Regards,
EDG
