would you buy a 9mm revolver?

Sounds like you are describing the old SP-101.

Nope. I have all that in my Taurus 651, except it is as backup for my .357 Mag Rugers

- good quality, etc.
- none of the said problems of the 905
- 5 rounds
- 2" barrel
- Double Action/Single Action (perhaps shrouded hammer or internal DAO)
- 500 $
- 25 oz
- .357 Magnum

In any case, I'm not overwhelmingly a fan of revolvers chambered for semi-auto ammo (or vice versa).

Nope, I have enough guns in 9mm and no real interest in revolvers except as companions to leverguns anyway.

I am not your target demographic.

Whats a revolver? Does it help load my mags or something?

Yes. But it should have the proper length cylinder for the cartridge. I would prefer the 9mm over the 38 Special as the revolver gives higher velocities with the 9mm. I know it doesnt make sense but it is a fact. With the right load the 2 inch revolver gives about the same speed as a 4 inch autoloader. A S&W with a concealed hammer and a model 32 cylinder in 9mm would be just right, IMHO.

I voted no. I don't like moon clips, but I feel pretty proficient with speedloaders. If somebody would make a 9mm speedloader and if the revolver was NOT cut for moon clips, then I may consider buying one.

Until then, I like 38 special just fine.

It is on my list. I love the 9mm round.

Can I have one in Tokarev, just for fun?

Can we get a lever action rifle to go with it?

Absolutely. The abundance of cheap and variety of ammo makes it a good choice. A perfect excuse to add another revolver. Same goes for BFD's Tokarev revolver. What a hoot.

I have had a 905 and two Speed Sixes in 9mm. I liked the Ruger but it was too heavy to be a daily carry. The 905 was terrible (stuck cases, failures to fire, rounds fall out of the clips when stored).

My keepers are reliable guns that I will gladly carry. If it isn't both, no thanks.

Not likely. I don't see the need to tailor my life to the anticipation

of running into a BG. IMO, dedicated concealed weapons for SD are

inaccurate and of little value for anything else. As a target shooter, I just

don't like them.



That said, I actually really like the 9mm Luger round. Costs a lot less than a

.45 to practice with, and the new high capacity magazines make a CCW a one

magazine situation. Without going into model specifics, many new 9mm pistols

have 17,18, or even 20 round magazines. Pretty much three times the ammo

in the pistol as a wheel gun, and, to my estimation, more than enough to

mount a strong stand in self defense.

I voted no, I am not a huge fan of 9mm anything except the 9mm Kurtz (.380 acp) and even that, I just have one. I prefer either .38 special in a rev or a .45 acp in a 1911a1.

Therewolf: Actually, my .45 with the ACE conversion costs much less than 9mm Luger being that it shoots .22lr and even provides the kick like a 45.

I just do not believe the 9mm is an effective round for target or SD. For target I much prefer the .38 special. For SD I prefer the Para Nitehog in .45acp loaded hot using XTP bullets.

Wouldn't consider it. I have enough nines and high cap. I carry the 45 1911.

I am scraping together the money for one right now. 9mm is the only round I reload, and there are revolvers that don't use moon clips.

Not to mention that I do love a nice snubbie.

I would buy one in a minute.

I did not vote because I am not in the market for a revolver. I if were, I would give it consideration.

I'll take a matching lever and revolver in 9x19NATO or 7.62x25Tok
Hell, I'll buy all 4, someone call Henry Repeating Arms and get them on it!

After looking at the reloading data for the 9 MM, 38 Special, and 375 Mag cartridge I decided that I would never get a 9 MM hand gun. The only semi auto I like is the 45 ACP.

I voted yes mainly because I've always had an interest in the S&W Model 547. Given a choice between the two models (3" round butt or 4" square butt), I would definitely go for the 3" model.

Make it around 12-13oz, say a 9mm Ruger LCR, and I'd buy it. I don't have any use for a 17oz 9mm snubby, I already have a custom 13oz scandium frame 9mm snubby.

Nope. Nothing wrong with them - I just already have some compact .38 Special revolvers. I don't use nines in semiautos so there is no gain in sharing common ammo. It would just be a new caliber for me that covers a niche I feel is already adequately covered for me.

Not me , I much prefer to use my semi-auto Sig P239 as a 9mm defensive handgun over any 9 mm revolver.

I yes.... but.....

No moon clips. Either a star ejection or even just a plunger at a cheaper price.

I would have bought the Charter Arms Rimmles Revolver. I think it was a few oz lighter too.
