9mm revolver? Full moon clips or what?
« on: July 11, 2013, 11:19:16 AM »
Folks, I am wondering about a 9mm revolver. (Yes, there goes the budget.... but still, we are only in the "thinking" stage right now, as you guys can appreciate haha).

Since the cartridge is not rimmed, the full moon clip must be used right? Or did I get that wrong?

Any particular models recommended, if anyone of you have experience with this?

Or maybe you reckon this is silly and I should just get another Glock? (LOL; only half kidding, I might decide on another Glock instead - please, no SIG flames here, I like SIG also).

Yes you'll need a moon clip if using a rimless cartridge.Why are u looking for a revolver in 9mm? U might find a problem finding one since I don't think there are to many manufactors still producing them, and If u do finding parts might be your next issue. You might be better off getting something else if wanting to shoot this caliber like a sig ;)

Smith and Wesson, Ruger, Taurus and Korth made 9mm revolvers. Korth was the only one I know that didn't use full moon clips, but could also shoot 38 special and 357 mag.

Ruger still makes the Blackhawk convertible. You can get models with cylinders for .357 Magnum and 9mm or .45 Colt and .45 ACP.

Tom thanks, that is perfect. This model might be a hot sell!

Let me do some more research.

I still do not understand the logic of a 9mm revolver. Why?
Somebody enlighten me.

I was looking that one over as well. Its very cool. It does not need moonclips. The cylinder is bored so that the case headspaces off the mouth of the cartridge.

I was considering getting it to shoot 9mm on the cheap, but with ammo being so short these days it kinda killed it.  I ended up finding a cherry three screw blackhawk.  Very nice and unconverted.  :)

Hey I could not find a Ruger revolver in 9mm.

http://www.ruger.com/search/

Not SA or DA.

Is this convertible no longer in production?

They come pre chambered for 357/38 and 45 long colt with alternate cylinders think they are still current models.

I recently found a ruger speed six in 9mm from a private owner in prescott,az. I got for $650, $750 after shipping & FFL fees.check out gunbroker. The s&w 547 and ruger speed six are going for over $1000. It's getting crazy. Mine is SS w/ a 2.75" barrel. I got full moon clips for it. Full moon clips are faster to reload than speed loaders and mags. I never shot it yet.when do you go to the range, i might be there w/ it and you can check it out.
