9mm revolver

[Trriemferent]

I'm considering buying a revolver one of these days. I'm looking at a 9mm only because I don't want to start collecting another caliber (already have 9 and 45).

Does anyone have experience with 9mm revolvers and what do you think of it. Pros/Conz?

They very expensive.

Ruger SP101's are going for nearly $1000 on gunbroker. S&W 547's are going for near $1500. Manchurin MR73's are $3000. Freedom Arms Model 97's are $2500.

They are interesting in that you get 38 Special mildness with no powder positioning issues due to the 9's small case capacity. Neat!

Good Luck.

If you can find a S&W 940 in 3", you will probably pay $1,500.

Ruger made the Speed Six in 9mm in both stainless and blued.

I like mine. Looks like a small Redhawk.

Have you considered a Taurus model 905? I know alot of folks don't like the "T" brand around here, but I have had no issues. Love my 905. Found it in the classifieds on this board. What about the Charter Arms Pitbull in 9mm? Either would be less than $500. Just a couple more options for you.

I just sold my Smith & Wesson 940 to a fellow Calgunner. I wasn't too fond of it. To me it seemed to have a snappier recoil than my 10mm's.

Since you shoot 45 also take a look at the S&W 625.

Join the club,I've been looking for one myself for quite sometime.

Both will require moon clips. A moon clip tool is really handy to have when using moonies.

A S&W Model 625 shoots 45 acp and will prolly be easier to locate than a 9mm revolver. A little less costly too.

Thumbs up on the 625, I just bought one and love it. Right now, 9mm costs more than .45 ACP and .45 ACP is more available.

I happen to have the ruger 357/9mm combo I have shot the 9mm its good for defensive and feels good in my hands. Also dont have to pick up brass ck turners in pasadena they might have one in storage ask them to ck. I got mine for 589.00 pluss dros and taxes 6 mos ago.

I have been interested in a 9mm revolver also and after some research it seems like the easiest and probably cheapest way would be to get it converted.

Buy a .357 due to the high pressure of 9mm and either get the cylinder rechambered to 9mm or get a new cylinder and have it rechambered and fit to the revolver. Check out: http://www.pinnacle-guns.com/revolver.asp

I have a S&W Model 547 and love it.

I used to be all about the 9mm revolver.. but ever since I took up reloading.. that interest pretty much dissolved. I see no real advantage other than common calibers of existing guns over having a 38/357. Most of them require moonclips, which is a turn off for me when it comes to revolvers. I know they're the fastest means of getting fresh cartridges in your cylinder.. but I like having the inherent mechanical advantage a revolver has over most semis by not needing an additional magazine/clip to load cartridges.
