I think a moon clipped .357 magnum SP101 would be way cool to carry, but I was wondering about something. When they moon clip a revolver with a rimmed round, they cut away some cylinder face, right? Never actually seen such a conversion, so I'm guessing. But, if they trim some cylinder face off it, would it not leave more cartridge case unsupported? Would this not limit chamber pressures or risk blowing a case with a hot load? Perhaps moon clipping should be restricted to low pressure rounds like the .38??? Then, again, 9x19 is a pretty high pressure round, but with a rimless case, you have more case wall support.
