[QUOTE="ronny, post: 3043129, member: 8853"] I'm 79 next month. What I call "running", most of you would call "laughable". It would be an effort for me to crouch down behind a barrier, a terrapin could out-crawl me and a piss ant could probably out-lift me. The idea of me lasting long enough in a gunfight to worry about changing magazines, or moon clips is fantasy. I am still relatively quick with acquisition and can still hit the side of a barn. If I can't extricate myself from the situation with the first 5 shots, it's over. With most folks, the speed advantage to moon clips is not an advantage over magazines, but over revolvers without moon clips. Having said all that, it is pretty quick and easy to change out a moon clip. My issue with them is loading and unloading the clip itself. It would be a drag on the range after the first 100 rounds. But, I no longer do that with anything except my .22's anymore. I also don't like the options for carrying extra clips in the summer time. They're bulky [/QUOTE]
