So...
I have me a Charter Arms 9 mm Fed. revolver. I am fed up with the $1.50 to $2.00/round prices i am finding on factory ammo and I have also attempted the "work-around" of loading up the cut down 38 spec and 38 S&W brass to make a hybrid round that will work. My problem with those hybrid rounds is that about one out of every 10 or 15 rounds will not fire because there is too much space between the firing pin and the primer. I will get a shallow dent in the primer but not enough to make it charge.
My other option to solve this predicament would be to change cylinders out to a 38 spec and shoot that ammo out of the gun. With only .002" difference in the two rounds, AND being a revolver, there would not be enough increase in pressure to harm anything and I could actually shoot factory defense loads out of it. (this will ultimately be my "truck-gun")
Anybody have any ideas on the possibility of this?
Also, anybody have an idea of where to start looking for Charter Arms 38 spec cylinders?
