Interesting mention in an old magazine - 9mm Ruger with no moon clips?

@Mas posted a link to an early 1977 AH, and I noticed this little blurb. I wonder if they ever made it to production?

That’s something I’d like to see.

I’m thinking this may have been for a French contract bid, the same one that resulted in the S&W 547.

If you pull up the issue covering the Security Six series, you can catch a glimpse of the trick extractor in an exploded parts diagram.

I remember the article but did not know the technical details.

As an aside... I have a Korth 9mm snub with a fancy ejection system...

I prefer a moon clip solution in almost every way. Less moving parts to get gummy, easier to load and easier to extract....

Found it!

I wonder if any actually made it into the wild? I can’t say I’ve ever seen one.

Since Ruger has the technology, I wish they'd make a 9mm LCR with that extractor.

That… would be amazing.
