Thank you, guys!

I have a Ruger SP-101 (357 mag.) that I keep around the house for Mrs. Flintknapper. I have a set of "Hogue" grips on it that fit her hands well.

The problem is: The grips do not allow the use of an H&K #36 speedloader without considerable interference caused by the larger grip.

I know what moon clips are, what they do, and the modification I need to have done to the pistol...but I don't have any practical experience with them.

Questions: 1. Do they securely hold the rounds in place, or will they allow cartridges to become loose in a carrier? 2. The SP-101 has a fairly long ejection rod, but does anyone know if the clip (with all five rounds expended) will drop/eject cleanly from the cylinder, or will it have to be manually "plucked" away?

Yeah, I know she's not likely to have to reload, but I want her to have the option (couldn't find another one like her, and not sure I'd want to).

Thanks for your replies.
