None I know of.
I have more guns than I need, but not as many as I want.

I've used moon, and half moon clips to shoot in 45 Long colt. They are actually faster than speed loaders. Ya got me on the handi though.

I've done that little trick, it works ! I wouldn't want a steady diet  of it , it's very 'labor intensive' and it really is just a trick.
