Brownells Extended Moon Clip Stripper With Handle, 45 Acp
Reloading .45 ACP on a revolver means working with moon clips, and the Brownells Extended Moon Clip Stripper with Handle is built to make that job faster and less tedious. This tool lets you collect all your fired brass in one place as you strip them from the clip—a time-saver when you're processing brass at the bench or range. The extended design holds a full round of empties, so you're not stopping to empty it every few seconds.
The real advantage here is the screwdriver-style handle Brownells added to this stripper. It's what separates a tool that works from one that actually feels good in your hand after you've run through a few cylinders. The handle gives you leverage and comfort, turning a repetitive task into something you can work through without hand fatigue or frustration. If you're a serious .45 ACP revolver shooter who loads your own ammunition, this is the kind of small refinement that makes reloading sessions less of a chore.
Moon clip strippers don't seem like much until you've tried to use a tool that doesn't fit right. Once you go to a handled design, you won't want to go back. Brownells designed this specifically for the .45 ACP format, so it's sized and shaped to work with your brass and your workflow—not some generic one-size-fits-all tool that's a compromise on everything.
