Yes you do the cylinders Cut for Moon Clips

The cylinder for this particular model is cut for moon clips for speed of load/unload but the pistol will fire with out them. (The newest 442 is equipped with a cylinder designed to use moon clips for increased speed and efficiency in loading. The use of moon clips requires additional machining on the face of the cylinder to accommodate the width of the metal clips. While this is an attractive feature for those shooters who prefer moon clips, the modifications do not affect the ability to load the revolver in more traditional ways—like using dump pouches, speed strips, single round load, or speed loaders).
