9mm revolver

[KTR03]

So any idea why Smith doesn't make a light weight 9mm snubby? I've seen the taurus one, but hey its a taurus... Was looking for a hammerless version that was reliable and trust worthy. Any other recommendations.

I would love a revolver built on a J frame in 9mm with a 9mm sized cylinder in length and made with Scandium alloy. Using moon clips of course. But I heard there are problems with 9mm revolvers with extraction.

Rumor on the S&W Forum is that they are coming out with one later this year. A rep from S&W told a forum member this info who then posted about it. Its supposed to be based on the new Bodyguard revolver.

You can always look for a used Smith 940, a 9mm J frame Centennial that is no longer in production. They can command a premium, so the trick is finding one in good shape for a reasonable price.

For me they are too heavy to be a good pocket gun. I want the same thing but with a scandium alluminum alloy frame.

Some guys have built their own using a 940 cylinder in a 642, or re-chambered Scandiums to 9mm, but if Smith is really coming out with one, that would be the easier path.

A 9mm j frame will be my main purchase in 2012. I would prefer a 940M&P model, but I would settle for the new bodyguard design. Then I will have finally consolidated all of my ammo to 9mm and .223!!!

If Smith doesn't do it, then I may give in and see if my 340 can be rechambered.

I had one of the Taurus ones briefly. I found the 9mm to be more painful than .38+Ps. Of course, that was with the stock hard rubber grips and it was December, IRRC. I'd much prefer a snubby K-frame like the 66 in 9mm.

I've heard of people having revolvers bored out for .38 Super.

I have always wanted a 9MM J frame.

This guy can rechamber your .38. Been thinking of doing it for a few years but I just don't want to be without my snubby for that long.
