Hey again,
Thanks everyone for the responses. Some of the options presented look really good. I like the the look of those Delfatti holders and the Midway replacement moon clips. Of course, I like the idea of a different gun too! I have been looking at a Glock 26, a Kahr K9, and a Sig P239. The are all available for rent at the local range, I just haven't tried them yet. A new gun has a lot of appeal. However, I really like my current one (it's a Ruger SP 101 by the way) and even more importantly, I can hit what I aim at with it. Lot's to think about.
Thanks again, LW

My CCW is also an SP101 but in .357 so I carry speedstrips.
9mm in revolver requires clips so the storage shape for reloads is constrained.

Ruger SP101 is one of my all time favorite revolvers. But let me maybe use a different tact. If you think you're going to need more than 6 shots in a defense situation, especially one in a urban social setting, you don't need to use speed clips, you need to get the hell out of there as fast as you possibly can. That is good advice if you carry a weapon with 6 shots or 16.
Trust me, I'm not some Dove or anti CCW or personal protection. Far from, but you don't ever want to be in a situation where you're in a firefight and have to reload. The faster you can get yourself out of the situation the better. A concealed firearm puts you a leg up on the general public for personal protection but a CCW is not a hero license. I don't mean that in the sense that I am insulting you, but whether you have the protection or not, you're best bet is to always try to get away fast.
And if I totally misread your intentions or situational need, I apologize.

Like you I also have a CCW license though my conceal carry these days is more like pepper spray and a stun gun instead of my Ruger LC9. One thing I've learned studying the subject and talking to police officers is that if you ever do shoot someone, two things will happen. One is that you will likely spend the night in jail and two you will put your lawyers kids through college. You can automatically count on being sued regardless whether you are in the right or wrong. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use a firearm if you are being threatened, but you better think thru the consequences well ahead of time because there will be unpleasant consequences. Thanx Monk

It seems to me that I ran across someone who was using stripper clips for this purpose for 9 mm. I think he was using 7.62X39 stripper clips.

I have a 940. I put two of the fullmoon clips in my right front pants pocket. All the other doodads go in other pockets.
