Another Great Experience With E.M.F

[James K2020]

I feel fortunate that their headquarters is 10 minutes from my house. They sent me an email blast that they had a Great Western 9mm cylinder that fits my Gambler's Royale .357, and it was on sale. I showed up without calling and they now keep their doors locked and require an appointment, so I called them from the parking lot. She laughed and said come on in, another person just left.

Charlie is the head of operations and gunsmith of the office and has helped me before. A very pleasant person and he likes to talk casually, not like you're wasting his time. He brought out the 9mm cylinder and it fit right in without any issues. He checked that it locked up tight in all chambers. I was worried that the unfluted cylinder wouldn't look right on the laser engraved frame and barrel, but I think it looks pretty sharp because it matches the smooth black micarta grips. Looks and feels like it came with it. Can't wait to try her out.

I have a 45 ACP cylinder in my SAA for 4 decades now. I totally understand why you might like the 9mm.

This is my 9mm SAA. 9mm and 45acp are awesome SAA calibers, IMHO.

9mm and 22lr revolvers are great for a range trip. Good practice that's inexpensive and fun.

My only other dual cylinder six-gun is this Cimarron 1875 Outlaw in 45 ACP/Long Colt, and it's been a favorite for years. Think I'll really enjoy the 9mm.

Never really considered a .45ACP cylinder for an Uberti/Taylor SAA.
Great idea.

Took it out today and ran 50 rounds of 9mm through it. Won't bother displaying my mediocre targets but definitely like the way it shoots. Really is a nice gun and the new cylinder makes it even more fun.

Do like my Pietta[EMF] Gun Fighter in .45 Colt with .45 acp cylinder. Good shooter. Enjoy yours.
The woman who runs EMF, Debbie?; wonderful person to deal with when I bought mine. I haven't met the gunsmith fella yet.

convertible, centerfire, single-action revolvers are excellent sidearms, especially with the obscene price and uneven availability of 45lc and 357/38 ammo. while these original revolver calibers are great fun, i would be content with just the 45acp and 9mm cylinders. mine are ruger.

oh and it’s great to read a “good news” story about firearms emanating from california.
