Bit rougher condition too. Are the clips easy to get?

I thought the moon clips are a standard part per se

As long as the cylinder bit is a standard dimensions ons with a standard amount of machining done then I think you can just buy the appropriate clips and have fun speed loading

The clips prevent the cartridge falling into the cylinder so far the firing pin with not strike the primer. .45 Acp head spaces on the case mouth,rimmed cartridges headspace on the rim.If you felt like holding the gun vertically all the shots would go off,but then the extractor cant grip the fired cases ,it grips on the clip.

So the clips don't speed load? I thought that was the whole point of them.

What he said- I believe that is the main reason. speed loading is a secondary advantage
