I got 1 and there are very few others

Well I finally broke down and got me a 642 and it is now a 942. I got a used 642-0 and it was conditional that my 940 cylinder would fit in, the Gun shop guy took the 38 spec cylinder off and allowed me to install my 940 cylinder and it fit perfectly. the cylinders line up nicely and it lock up tight as a drum. I put on a Tyler T grip and some real nice walnut diamond magna's on it and it disappeared in my pocket.

Pic's will follow

Just a thought but have you considered the ramifications of using a frame designed for a cartridge with a working pressure 18,900 cup (+P if rated is 22,400 cup) to fire a cartridge with a working pressure of 35,700 cup. Not to mention the .357 vs .355 bore diference.

Was the conversion of the .38 to the 9mm only a cylinder swap? Interested in more details of the project, sounds interesting as I would love a 9mm snubbie in the airweight size.
