Know your audience. Don't try to sell a Prius at a Monster Truck Rally.

Re: 9mm revolver..... worth getting?
To: Internet Troll and Bug out,
Frankly Im a revolver guy and many moons ago I picked up a nice Smith and Wesson 940-1, I love it just as my other "J" frame revolvers, Yes as many of us I was yearning for something more,<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
So I went ahead and did some research and purchased a couple items,
In the long run I was able to come up with my own Smith and Wesson "Pinto 3640 9mm" revolver BUT with a twist,
Hmm you wonder,
9mm >>> 38 Super and WHAT >>> 9x23 all in the same Chiefs special?
Yep,
Its a bit of a BBQ gun, But wow the 38 Super and 9x23 are a tad sharp,
I carry a Smith model 37 nearly everyday for the past 20 years and the poor thing shows it,
The "3640" comes out a couple times a year and has proven to be a solid performer.
Above rounds use the same moon clip for ease of use and reloading,
I was just shooting it last weekend,
Bugout, I figured since you like the 9mm revolver platform, I figure you would like this, Er, Um 9mm and more revolver,
Everyone stay safe over the next few days!

Re: 9mm revolver..... worth getting?
very cool mod... maybe i will post pics of my kimber k6s 3" 9mm conversion - dont know of another in existence like your pinto.
my new idea is to have a new taurus 3" ultralite 856 converted to 9mm, the cylinder is carbon steel so im thinking it should be strong enough - not sure what the thickness at thinnest point in cylinder is (that would be the weak point)... could run an FEA on that w 9mm saami load

Re: 9mm revolver..... worth getting?
I dont know if Smith and wesson still has 940 cylinders available, But if I recall when I bought mine it was about $65 bucks and then another $60 or so to get it reamed and polished,
I did the rest of the work.
I have a model 60 I can do the same work to, But I thought a Pinto would be more fun
