I don't think that's an unreasonable price. But I suppose I would find Smith's revolver prices even more reasonable if they still pinned and recessed their guns.

Rock Island Armory is working on a 9 mm version of there 205 revolvers to be introduced in late 17. Msrp is $350 so figure a street price around $300
It is very accurate. What people who shoot them in competition are doing is lightening the barrel so they can transition between targets faster.I bet that 6.5in barrel being 9mm is really accurate?
It holds up better to fast shooting than a steel cylinderWhy does a 9mm need a titanium cylinder anyway.
It would be really nice if they'd fit the 929 with the Ti cylinder also...it would help the bolt stops hold up better to fast shooting

Oops, sorry, brain fartMy 929 does have a titanium cylinder
That is what Scot and Randy told me too...easier and less expensiveIIRC, word on the Enos revolver forum was that Ti helped prevent peening of the bolt stops, but it was tough on the bolt itself. I suppose a bolt is easier to replace than a cylinder, though.
I appreciate new models and innovations. However, I just don't see the use of this one. At 2lbs and adjustable sights, its far from an ideal carry revolver. The 2.5 inch barrel is not ideal for target or competition use.
So what is this configurations intended purpose?
I would love to see a frame that fit the cylinder. Trim it down to as close as a J-frame as you can get and still squeeze 6 rounds in. Now that would be worth buying.
It is mostly a matter of reloading speed.I just never understood the attraction of the revolver chambered for a semi-auto cartridge.
But that's why Smith should just stop bastardizing their existing platforms. I have a 625PC and can barely stand to look at it.Smith and Wesson doesn't have a frame that fits a 9mm sized cylinder.
I think the only manufacturer that does is Korth.

Any word on how it'll stack up against the new Colts, lol? 300$ just might make revolvers great again (they were once a budget-comparable item, but in the last ten years it seems they're all at least double the competition)Hold out little longer gents, Rock Island Armory is working on a 9 mm version of there 205 revolvers to be introduced in late 17.

Chiappa does make a 9mm Rhino, they just don't distribute it here in the U.S.
They also sell a 9mm cylinder for their 357, the barrel is a 357 barrel, but from what I've heard from people who own the Ruger Blackhawk convertible, there isn't a noticeable decrease in accuracy firing 9mm through a 38 /357 barrel.
You can get the Rhino combo - its not rare...
The only possible difference between the two is that the straight 9mm Rhino might have a slightly more narrow barrel, (I don't know that it does). The frame on the 9mm model isn't fit to a shorter 9mm cylinder - its a 357 Magnum sized cylinder so there is the same amount of freebore or cylinder jump to get to the forcing cone in both the straight 9mm Rhino and the Rhino 357/9mm combo.
