Anyone care to guess what a local gun shop offered to sell me a set of 8 half-moon clips for? Nuthin special, .45acp N-frame sorta half moon clips. Hints: They were nicely packaged. The package bore the Name that Shall Not be Mentioned. The cost per gram was doubtless greater than gold....
Okay, I'll 'fess up. 8 scoots. One smolian per. Buck a throw. I was literally speechless. I can afford a buck for gallon of gas, or a cup of coffee, if I'm desperate. But for ONE HALF MOON CLIP???? I guess I'm getting miserly in my dotage, but I wouldn't pay that for them if Britney Spears had been keeping them in her underware drawer for a month. Sheesh, when's the next gun show?
