    Ooh, I'd love to have a revolver in 9mm. Smith & Wesson had a model some time ago that didn't require moon clips... the star on the extractor was unique in how it was able to eject the 9mm brass. They go for a pretty penny these days, and I wish I could remember the model number... Ahh, found it while typing, it was the Model 547, made from the early to mid 80's. I swear Hickok45 did a video on this at some point.

    Anyway, the only rub I've read about with 9mm revolvers is that recoil can make 9mm bullets "jump the crimp". I don't know personally how true this is.

    Ammo dependent, but can be a problem. There are lists online of which are crimped sufficiently.

    I walked into Bradis last Monday and they had just gotten one in. It was a special order for another customer, but I got the chance to handle it for a bit before the rightful owner wanted it back. I will have to say i was impressed with it. It seems like it could be everything I hoped my old 640 Pro would be. Would love the chance to shoot one.
