    Ruger LCRx 3" in .44 spl.??? When?

    Somewhat off topic. Ruger does make a .357 Mag in that model I think. Some folks are wondering about a .327 model. Maybe a 9mm would work. Cheap ammo cost and a lot of people own a gun in 9mm and have a large stock of of ammo. I think any of these would be good except to the Ruger hatters. The...

    9mm Revolvers

    It would be nice to have those options . About 1/2 the time I shoot .38 spl in my S&W. It is easier to get , if I don't want to dig into my stash. Like I can use 9mm stash ammo or go to the localized wallyworld. But. " we dont have any .22 bullets"

    9mm Revolvers

    My reason for not wanting the clips and such was that it one more thing to break or loose. Is the .357 .9mm cylinder swap Okay? I have never used a swap the cylinder to change the cartridge. Shot a lot of .38 spl in .357's but that is not the same thing. I know sometimes revolvers can have...

    9mm Revolvers

    Any thoughts on 9mm revolvers. I already have a couple of 9mm pistols with plenty of ammo. Am a revolver guy too. I would want a native 9mm gun, no clips, half moons. I think there may be some 9mm, .357 magnum cylinders but I am not sure about those. I do have a S&W model 66 that I like. A...
