any of you know who they are? I have a customer who has ordered a 10mm that says he can't find any. But we have done quite a few 10mms and 10mm magnums in our Skorpion and Black Mamba so I know there is a company that makes them. Any help would be appreciated.

Here, I think...

The five-shot "K/L-frame size" might need some

special fabrication. I'm sure with a bit of effort, maybe even sending in the cylinder for special design/build it can be done. I have a 6-shot GP100 and it uses factory made "cips" the same as an obscure S&W L-frame .40 S&W 6-shot model (NOT the 610!). They are available from Brownells. I think Dillon advertised them too but don't confuse them with the S&W 610 N-frame versions.

Andy Rowe had someone make him up some special clips once.

SPEED BEEZ makes some I know, lots of accy’s too

My Clements GP100 uses the clips made for the S&W 646 .40 S&W and you can get them from Ranch Products

I wasnt sure if Garys conversion was a 5 or a 6 shot

BTW the barrels were re-bores, and I think

the main guy doing that as a contractor passed away. He'd get a big batch together (sometimes a year long wait) and then send off a batch. You had to sign off that if the re-bore went bad you'd not hold them responsible.

A new tube is a better more and controllable (sure enough faster) way to go.

I do not really know Mr. Clements. I think he runs his shop single handily and alone. Hence the long lead times.

the gun is a 6 shot

we put the Skorpion and Black Mamba out in 44 Special

and within a year Ruger had their 44 Special out in the GP. We even put it out in 44 Magnum but I haven't seen that one yet. I figured if the S&W L frame chambered in 44 Magnum in the model 69 would handle it the stronger GP-100 would be fine.

True, but I do have to admit that we pushed Jason...

To make them in 44 Special and 327 Federal for several years.

I can't say if the horse or the cart was first or which influences were present.

Will say I've never met a gun in either caliber that I didn't like.

TK Custom? Up in Thomasboro Illinois?

I think they make all the factory moon clips for the Ruger Redhawk 45, and machine cylinders and clips for several other Ruger models.
