9mm Revolver without moon-clips

Not a fan of charter arms at all...I personally think Taurus is leaps and bounds above these guys and that is saying something!!!

The fixed sights and semi adjustable ones are also junk. Buddy in the USA had one on .40S&W and when we were shooting it it was wayyy off at even 15 yards, had to hold it about 4" love and 3" left to hit center of the page, tried all sorts of loads but no luck.

It sucks as I too would like a DA revolver in 9mm sans moon clips.
 
The question I am left with is.... Why would anyone want a light caliber, such as 9mm, in a revolver that is also limited to 6 rounds? All semi-auto guns have 10 round clips. A heavier caliber in a revolver... oh, I understand that.

Maybe the guy who already has a semi-auto 9mm?
Maybe the same guy who buys a rifle chambered in 9mm?
The guy who likes different guns, but doesn't want to stock a bunch of different calibers of ammo?
 
I understand why someone might want a revolver that can shoot 9mm. I did and I tried it. I also gave it up as a lost cause. I came to the conclusion that 9mm was made for auto guns and not revolvers. I now just shoot 38 special in my revolvers and 9mm in semi auto guns that way I have less stomach acid.

The 38 special and the 9mm cartridges are very close anyway. Just my two cents worth.

Also I hate cheap guns and really want nothing to do with them.

Are you SERIOUS? The S&W 547 is what I use to test 9mm ammo before I waste it in SIGs and Glocks and Walthers and such. If it doesn't all go in the same hole at 10 meters with any one of my 547s, it's going to group more than two inches in any one of the autos!

9mm is about the perfect revolver round. Some might argue that their 10mm/.40 S&W 610 or their .45 ACP 625 is better, and I will not burst that bubble. To each their own. But if you want to know what your 9mm, .40, or .45 ammunition is capable of, shoot it from a high quality revolver.

Well, that part I agree with! The Charter Arms is quite cheaply made. I won't say I hate them, but the 9mm one I played with got noticeably better as I cycled it (catching and gently dropping the hammer) while talking to the salesman at CSC. The trigger also got black from the honing compound they left in the action so you could finish the pistol for them as you used it! The thing does look awfully cheap, feels cheap, though the extractor mechanism is every bit as cool as the S&W 547 version.

S&W K frame revolvers, for me, are some of the most accurate handguns there are, in any caliber. But I get better accuracy out of a 9mm K frame than I do out of the same gun in .38/.357, for about half the price. The only one that makes me grin more is my model 17.
 
I have read some good reports on the Charter in .40 S&W, but nothing on the 9mm.

I believe the Manhurin 9mm is a development of the revolver Ruger developed for the Surete. The extractor system was a spring affair similar to the Charter Arms. Rumour has it that a patent infringement by Charter on the Ruger design was what delayed the introduction of the Charter.
 
Always wanted a 9mm or 45 revolver but they are impossible to find. Cz has one in 9mm but hasn't made a Canadian legal model yet.

The reason I want those cal's is simple: I already reload them

I would have to handle one prior to buying the charter

CZ has a 9mm...revolver?!?!?!
 
Good answers. Was curious is all. RE: Why own a 9mm revolver? Higher capacity of semi auto's in 9mm would be why I personally would never want a 9mm revolver. Also, I'd test 9mm in the semi auto I'd regularily shoot it in. ie. If I was involved in IPSC or IDPA, I'd test hand loads that would just make power factor for the sport, and also not jam my semi-auto, in the gun I'd shoot it with. How an expensive revolver shoots 9mm has nothing to do with your semi-auto that shoots it.
On that note... I wish I could find a .45 acp semi auto other than my double action CZ 97 that shot semi-wad cutters well... but that is a discussion for another thread.

And you know this because you own an expensive revolver that shoots 9mm?

Not to be rude, those of us who buy factory ammunition and want to see how good or mediocre it is, and who have such a revolver, can test it. The results in my S&W 547 revolvers consistently predict how good or bad that same factory ammunition will be in my autos. Not "revolver", I have several such revolvers, so it isn't a fluke. I have tried eight of these and presently own five (5) S&W 547s. They're not expensive, compared to most quality autos. Glocks, SIGs, HKs and other 9mms all cycle and shoot all factory ammunition I've tried, but the accuracy of that ammunition is predicted by its accuracy in a quality 9mm revolver.

I don't know about reloads -- you're right, you had better test them lots if you hope to win any contest. I buy factory (not reloaded) ammo by the case -- after a box from the same batch tests well in one of my 547s.

Bashing what you don't or can't own is a time-honored tradition here, so bash away. Just don't tell me that what I've learned by spending time and money while paying attention isn't so.
 
I have two israeli military marked surplus 547 9mm's. Both are great revolvers. They came with israeli surplus 92SB's.
 
No I screwed that up... CSA has a 9 revolver

That's a great find.

Hopefully someone can get them to make some 4.2 inch versions for Canada.

CSA seems to be pretty accommodating.
They make their rifles with 19 inch barrels, and with AR-magazine adapters just for us.
