Glad you had fun! Cheers! :tiphat:

Ya, ya, ya... But, Webster has expanded the definition so technically, I am right too, :mrgreen:

Definition of CLIP

1
: any of various devices that grip, clasp, or hook
2
: a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also : a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm
3
: a piece of jewelry held in position by a clip
Definition 2 part a is correct, part b is incorrect. It might have been added because of common usage. Just because something is common though does not make it correct.
:iagree:
It drives me nuts that just because everyone is wrong the dictionary changes the meaning of a word
also multiple fish are fish not fishes :banghead: stupid Webster
enjoy you new Sig
