Smith and Wesson 929 all the way.
Yep, not a lot of options in 9mm revolvers. I had a 4.5" Alfa proj in 9mm. It wasn't particularly finely finished not did it have the world's best trigger. OTOH when I bought mine it was on sale for $420,not the $600+ they are now. It went bang every time,was reasonably accurate and I made about $30 on it when I sold it a year later.
Looks like Ruger makes the SP101 in 9mm. That would be an interesting gun but it looks like it only comes in a 2.25" barrel model.

Not just a matter of pretty but also a matter of 8 rounds compared to 6 if you ever plan on competing with it.
929 all the way as well. Alfa is not bad at all but you need to get used to the 3 clicks reset or else you are stuck with a non-functional DA trigger until you properly reset it. Otherwise Alfa is a pretty damn good gun IMO.
For plinking, I like my Alpha Proj 9261. There's a source for less expensive moon clips now, so you don't have to worry about thye $12/pc of the OEM ones.
For competition in IPSC, the S&W 929 is great! It's more than double the price of the Alpha Proj though, so be prepared to spend ~$2,000 by the time you have it all set up (trigger job, springs, moon clips, loaded moon clip checker, mooner/de-mooner, .....)
Norinco makes a revolver?

I would go with a 929.
I think you can take that it off. I never took mine off though. I really doubt that comp is really necessary at all. It comes with a shorter non-comp attachment but it looks like you can take the whole thing off....
Can't go wrong with a 929....
Top one
So do ya have to use moon clips with those revolvers or are they modified so that they will grab the empty case when your removint them.
AFAIK For the 929 you must run with moonclips or else it won't fire with the 9mm Luger rounds. My Alfa Proj can fire 9mm Luger without using any moonclips but after a while the cases will start getting stuck so don't expect them to drop free. So far I have no problem pushing them out with a pen or screwdriver but I will just use moonclips whenever I can.
