Other than the neat sounding Charter Arms linked above, the only current production commonly available 9mm revolver I'm aware of is the Ruger Blackhawk Convertible - a single action pistol. That Charter Arms looks really neat, I am going to have to look into that one!
i recently got a barely used charter arms 9mm pitbull. im a wheelgun guy, i dont have a 9mm semiauto pistol, but do greatly enjoy 9mm in my ruger blackhawk and bond arms derringer. i like 38 wadcutters in snubbies so cheap 9mm ammo led me to the c.a. after 50 range rounds my impressions of the c.a.: 1.
My snub 9mm Revolver is an LCRx. I've personally chronographed a bunch of .38 special loadings from two different Chronographs over the years. In general, I do agree with your statements , however the Buffalo Bore 158 grain .38 special +P SWCHP-GC moves out of a 1 7/8" M60 barrel at 1,025 fps (with very little variation) on average.
Pretty cool revolver for the engineering and design that went into it, but it comes down to just being a Model 10 in 9mm. The 547 was designed to meet a French specification of a 9mm revolver w/o the need for moon clips.
I shot 125 grain lead truncated cone 9mm bullets out of my Ruger Blackhawk .357 for a while. Loaded them in .38 Special cases with a target level load of Bullseye and CCI primers. Shot to point of aim in the Blackhawk and made good groups at 20 yards, or so. Only switched to 158 grain LSWCs after the gunstore ran out of the 9mm TCs.
The main advantage of a 9mm revolver IMO is the fun of a revolver using the same cheap ammo that you use in your semi-auto (caliber consolidation). I mainly own 9mm handguns, so for me it is a great alternative to having to stock more expensive .357 or .38.
Smith & Wesson made a 9mm revolver (model 547) but they are highly collectible and pricey. This was a medium sized revolver. They have also made some small frame 5-shot revolvers in 9mm. I am sure you could find on the used market. For a .45 ACP wheel gun, the Model 1917 is the original. They are now making them again although they too are pricey.
I carry 124 grain in my 9mm guns, both revolver and semi-auto. I prefer the Speer Gold Dot 124 grain Short Barrel +P; it has a great track record, particularly with NYPD. While the 115 grain bullets can be driven to higher velocities with the same pressure, I've found that the extra muzzle blast is not worth the effort.
I was thinking about getting a 38 snub for pocket carry but im already going to stock 9mm and id really prefer to keep one pistol caliber. Plus 38 is more expensive. I found a 6 shot 38 snub but it seems like all the 9mm revolvers are 5 shot, i couldnt find revolvers cut for moon clips from the factory.
An friend of mine has a S&W 547 9mm revolver, it has the box and it is in like brand new condition, he has never shot it that he can remember. He wants to sell a few of his collection, and told me if I wanted this he would let it go for $950.00.
