Default Model 69 moon clip conversion

I was thinking about having my model 69 cut to use moon clips. I had it done to a Model 25 so I could also shoot ACP in it but you could use clips on the .45 Colt also. I never did use them though. Would the .44 mag rounds be too long to utilize the clips? What I mean is would they be wobbly which might make it harder to drop in, if that makes any sense

You might want to wait until 5 shot L-frame .44 moon clips are even available before asking this question!

You should just get on the phone with Tom Kilhoffer at TK and discuss your idea. None of us here know 'stuff from shinola' about a Model 69.
