Well this is interesting!

I have a few questions (i read the thread on what guns to use)
1) I am concerned about getting an abundance of marks from usiing speed loaders and moon clips on my revolver. Is there anything that can be done about to reduce/prevent it?

2) I own a DAN Wesson .357 Model 15-2. Its a 6-shot target revolver, would that be acceptable to use?

3) All my ammo is hand reloaded (by a friend) its all .38 special 158gr non-jacketed (semi-wadcutters this time) accepatable?

4) I don't have any formal training, no moon clips or speed loaders, nor any holders for such... is that still available for DW?

2) I own a DAN Wesson .357 Model 15-2. Its a 6-shot target revolver, would that be acceptable to use? Absolutely

3) All my ammo is hand reloaded (by a friend) its all .38 special 158gr non-jacketed (semi-wadcutters this time) accepatable? Yes, I'd say 90% or more use reloads.

4) I don't have any formal training, no moon clips or speed loaders, nor any holders for such... is that still available for DW?

I'm sure there are speed loaders for the DW. To use moon clips the cylinder has to be cut for them. There's a class just for speed loaders called the retro division. Like Cliff said there's loaner gear for people to try out. Everything you need just bring ammo.

So there's no reason not to try it out. Come on it's fun.

P.s. Look at the steel matchs also.

This is the speed loaders we use.

their plastic so they should not mess up the guns finish. They do make them for the DW .38/.357.
