Pistol Caliber Revolvers - any 9mm or 45acp wheel gunners?

[melensdad]

I've got a big Smith & Wesson 'N' frame chambered in 45acp that has been a long time favorite to shoot.

I noticed that Charter Arms is coming out with some sort of a new 9mm revolver that doesn't use 'moon' clips. I also noticed that Taurus has a compact 9mm revolver.

Anyone else here like to shoot pistol caliber revolvers? What do you have? What do you like about them?

The Taurus revolver looks like it might be a good back up gun as well as being a snappy little wheelgun.

I am intrigued by Ruger's Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible. It's on my list of guns to buy. Right next to the Marlin .357 rifle.

Does anybody have a 10mm revolver? the S&W Model 610 looks pretty slick as well.

Nobody else?

I'm seriously looking at the Taurus stainless 9mm revolver. Seems like a nifty little gun . . . but I can't find one in stock locally, or at a decent price for a transfer.

Ditto on the Ruger and Marlin .357s!!!

I'd also love to find another SP101 in 9mm.

Didn't know about those.. I'd sure like to check one out myself!

Past 625 junkie - but don't have one at the moment. Looking for another Model of 1989.

Blackhawk and Vaquero convertibles with ACP & Colt cylinders.

Taurus Tracker in ACP (wish I could find another). No need for moon clips here to headspace on, but it does make things easier to extract and quicker to reload.

Sorry for threadjack
How does the 625 Model of 1989 compare to the 627 Model of 1989? The 627-0, IMO, is without a doubt the finest handgun ever made.

I had a Taurus 9mm Revolver when they first came out. Bought it as a backup to my then-duty Glock 17, figuring that a revolver in the same caliber would be great, because how often does a revolver fail?

It never fired quite right. I tried every range ammo I could find, and about a dozen personal protection ammo types and kept having light strikes.

The first time I sent it back, they said it just needed cleaning. They claimed to have cleaned it and tested it, and it worked fine. I tried it and had the same problem. Rangemaster at my local gunclub said it looked clean enough and sent it back again. They supposedly fixed it and returned it, saying they found some spring problems. Same issue. I exchanged it for a Glock 26 and never looked back..

I've handled several Taurus firearms before then and since then, and they've all been just fine. Don't know if mine was just a lemon or what, but I didn't hang around long enough to find out. I did see the ad for the new Charter Arms 9mm and I'm intrigued, but I've already got a nice .38 and don't see the need at this point. Maybe if I come up with some extra "Just 'Cause" money..

S&W Model 610

Best darn wheel gun ever made. If you want a rimless wheel gun in the .40 and 10mm variety you wont find a better gun.
