Does a 9mm revolver exist?

[Noxx]

I hate you all, now I have to have that Nosorog. A brief search shows me that it's not going to be an easy purchase.

4F: I don't think you can install a 9mm cylinder on your own, unless it's the Ruger convertible. There's a custom shop called Pinnacle, ask mod Brian Williams about it (he's in this thread, and I'm sure he'll refer you to the proper site). They modify the existing cylinder in a Smith j-frame or Ruger SP101 (steel cylinders only) or do the same in a K/L frame. $200-300, last I checked.

With higher-pressure 9mm rounds, and nothing, design-wise, to attenuate felt recoil, I'd just get a .357 (bigger payload by a few grains). But I'd think harder about the modification if I could stuff a moonclip into a Glock or Sig.

Mark will set you up, all you have to do is ship your cylinder to him and you will have a 9mm, 38 Super and 9X23 that you can shoot in her.

The Ruger SP101 9mm was neat, IMO, but ultimately not my cup of tea. I keep thinking I want a Blackhawk convertible in .357/.38/9mm, but I never seem to acquire one.

six maybe seven rounds....5 maybe 6 rounds more like it.
why not get an Auto,No mag to loose, no slide to jam in my pocket
you get 2x the ammo and reloads are fasterO, really, Google Michlick.
The ammo was designed to be shot from an autobut it works real well from any 4" barrel(cylinder and barrel = about 4 inches)...

Besides I like revolvers and moonclips

Wow coming from a Moderator.... Thats cool. 1st of all how old are you? "O' really Google Michlik" Im not sure what you are implying but if you are trying to say I'm a mall ninja or get my facts from google, (edited by taliv)

I thought this was the highroad but Ill stoop to your level!

so a new member askes a question he hasent looked into I say 1 thing, and it becomes YOUR thread!! and YOU think YOU can call people out!

 

[harmon rabb]

i predict ownage

 

[taliv]

iansstud, I think you're wildly overreacting here.

I think Brian meant "google miculek" as in Jerry M. who is famous for doing sub-second revolver reloads. he wasn't saying you get your facts from google (not a bad thing anyway) or that you're a mall ninja. He was just responding to your post, not calling you out

 

[Jorg Nysgerrig]

I had the opportunity to shoot a box of ammo through a 9mm SP101. While that's not much experience, I found it easy and enjoyable to shoot, with more than acceptable accuracy.

 

[easyg]

9mm revolvers are just too cool!

 

[SDC]

What is that interesting load for the Taurus you've got there, easy? I don't recall seeing one like that before.

 

[Brian Williams]

I think Brian meant "google miculek"
sorry not michlick.
And yes some good info can be found on the web, also look for the youtube vid about the guy who can reload a Semi really really really fast.
Wow, that was more than a month ago.

 

[Jorg Nysgerrig]

SDC, I think those are the Hornady Critical Defense loads.

Charter Arms Rimless Revolver (CARR) will be available late Fall 2009!

Charter Arms announces an affordable revolver that chambers rimless semi-automtic rounds the same way as a standard rimmed-cartridge revolver.

Now the average gun owner can own an affordable, trouble-free revolver chambered in these popular semi-auto rounds without the need for specialized ammunition clips and a specialized gun.

With the patent-pending Charter Arms Rimless Revolver Round System a round is loaded into the chamber and a specialized spring engages the cartridge’s ejector groove. When the cylinder is opened and the ejector rod operated, it extracts and ejects the fired cases.


Available Calibers

Charter Arms will first offer the .40 S&W followed by the .45ACP and 9x19 mm Parabellum (the 9mm Parabellum revolver will also chamber factory .380ACP). All three Rimless Revolvers (9mm, .40 and .45) will be rated for higher velocity +P loadings.


Warranty

As with the other Charter Arms revolvers, the CARR has an industry exclusive lifetime warranty.

I, too, have a 9mm revolver - a Ruger Speed Six. I love it.

 

[RUT]

>>I, too, have a 9mm revolver - a Ruger Speed Six<<

As do I, although I'll probably never shoot it. I should probably sell it in favor of something more "useable".

 

[SDC]

Thanks, Jorg.

Yep, Jorg got it right.

Hornady Critical Defense.

Bump -- came across this thread while searching for info on 9mm wheelies. Amazing, the search function actually works!

FWIW, the Charter Arms site is now reporting early 2010 release for the CARR...

ETA: out of curosity, what holsters fit a Taurus 905? I.e., are there equivalent guns I can use while searching on various vendor sites? Thanks...

 

[Brian Williams]

Any J frame holster will fit for a Taurus 905.

 

[funkychinaman]

Generic musing regarding the CARR: how would you reload it quickly? It obviously can't use moonclips. Does anyone make speedloaders for 9mm? Will speedloaders work for a rimless case?

 

[GunTech]

For those who like the Nosorog, and made reference to the Mateba, here you go. Not 9mm, but it looks neat.

 

[Brian Williams]

Speedloaders from a Model 10 will work.

 

[funkychinaman]

Don't Model 10's have six rounds? This is only five.

 

[Brian Williams]

oops, I was thinking about the newer taurus with six shots like a Colt Detective Spec.
A J frame should work, I have tried to put 9mms into a K frame speedloader and they worked.

 

[AJChenMPH]

Any J frame holster will fit for a Taurus 905.

Awesome, thanks...
