You can shoot without the moon clips, just not use the ejector.
Isn't that true with most 9mm revolvers?
How did you shorten the 38 Special cases? What process? Not that this applies to my Pitbull but I find this interesting.
Not sure where they headspace but they don't utilize moonclips. Came across this recent article:

I'll be mindful of my crimp and measure for bullet creep/jump once out to the range.
I ground a chunk of mild steel to the correct thickness, bored a hole in it that would accept the cases and then inserted each case and ground off the bit sticking out on a belt-sander. Then I de-burred the case mouth and Viola! 9mm rimmed. I call the result .355/19R- a .355" bullet, 19mm long, Rimmed. The maximum load that I have tried so far is a 115gr. TMJ-RN on top of 5.1gr. of Unique with a CCI primer. This seems to approximate typical 9mm 'range loads.' My wife is recoil-sensitive (bum wrist) so for her I load them with 3.5gr. of Unique so she can enjoy shooting the m905 on the range.
A rimmed 9mm. That's pure genius!
Thank you, but I am hardly the first to come up with this idea!
My 929 will not ignite cartridges just sitting in the chambers without the moon clips. My LCR will fire them off just fine.
I started shooting the LCR9mm about two years ago. Lousy shot at first, but diligent training has really paid off.
By the way the seperated bullet did not protrude from cylinder but glad I did not pull triger on it
Has anybody experimented with crimping to mitigate the bullet creep?For now I only shoot std pressure but would like the option of more power.recoil is not a big issue for me.
