Would you buy a 9mm single action revolver?

[PinnedandRecessed]

1. Typically, I'm not a fan of revolvers chambered in rimless cartridges but... being in a SA makes more sense than other platforms.

2. This thread started over two weeks ago. Where is the OP's new Pietta 9mm? Is OP a slacker?

Ruger did it a long time ago. Back in the 1970s.

They still do.

Interesting I’m gonna do some research on that you just might of lit my revolver desire again.

I’ve heard it said the later Smith 625s require clips.

My 625-8 PC has more headspace than my old 25-2, but still shoots fine without moons, as has every Smith .45 ACP revolver I’ve ever owned.

Interesting, well after some looking around I’ve decided to get a 4in 357 I’m looking for a deal on a 686, model 19, or gp100 just something good all around use.

I have a 686 and a 7 shot gp100 if you want to try them one day.

No rush, they ain't going anywhere

Would you buy a 9mm single action revolver?​

No, its kinda like putting beans in chili.

 

[Ozzman]

My vote is NO also.

Sounds like fun for plinking, but it is just that and nothing more...
It will probably be shot once or twice every 5-years and will sit and lose value in the safe.

Also, I personally don't see a viable niche for a firearm like that. IMO, not a good carry gun because there are so many others out there that are better candidates, and a poor choice for home defense.

It's better than a big rock, but my vote is to save your money and get something more practical/useful.

Not me !

 

[Moonpie]

Bunch of haters up in here.
A nice slicked up SAA style 9mm six-shooter would be fun as heck.
It wouldn’t need moonclips. Hell of a lot cheaper to shoot than .38Spc.

 

[Ozzman]

Lol, at the Debbie Downer SNL skit .
I guess it was.

Still a firm NO to the OP's question.

 

[Eastexasrick]

Yes
I could see it. this one is a little plain, needs rosewood grips, and a little tasteful engraving.

 

[tonelar]

I’d buy one (to accompany my J frame SW)… they’re easier to feed good defensive rounds.

 

[Super Dave]

Got to ask why

 

[Moonpie]

Why not.

 

[Jim Lahey]

I see Pietta has a line if 9mm single action revolvers.
Essentially cowboy wheel guns in 9mm.
Sort of want.
Sure would make them less expensive and easier to shoot.

I would buy a .357 for revolver

 

[Skeeter64]

Love me some 9mm revolvers. Have convertible Rugers and enjoy the crap out of 'em.

Carry the 9mm Speed Six on the ranch for daytime/trail work. carry the 10mm GP 100 to hunt.

How do you like your convertible Rugers? I have a Cimarron Pistolero made by Pietta, but I think I want a Blackhawk.357/9mm.
