I have a sp101 in 9mm.

you use the full moon clips to hold the shells in the cylinder. with a speed loader you remove it before firing  with the full moon clips you leave them in place. however you can use the shells with out the full moon clip  you will need something to push the fired brass out.

If I where you I would get a few extra clips and keep them put away. ruger only has a very small run on them every few years so they are somewhat hard to get.

when you take the grips off be careful. their is a little rod in it. this rod is used to hold the main spring in place when you are taking the gun apart.

This link will take you to ruger.com 's online  owners manual.
