The coolest 9mm ever!

[flintyboom]

I'm definitely getting one of these if we can ever buy/sell handguns again.
Taylor's and Company TC-9 revolver.
An 1873 Colt clone chambered in 9mm Luger. It would be fun and cheap( ish) to shoot.
Also, way prettier than a Glock or Sig.

as much as i hate revolvers the single action army has always held an spot in my heart

SAA’s are beautiful guns. If we could open carry that would be my going out for dinner gun.

This and a 9mm Taylor’s and Co TC73

 

[Arcosdad]

Love these. A few weeks ago I held an original, made in 1878...

My very first handgun was a single action army clone in .22lr with a .22 magnum cylinder can’t remember the make butnwas made in Germany i cant remember how many rabbits i shot with that gun oh the good old days

That would awesome.

It's unfortunate the government has restricted the handgun market to local neighbourhood drug dealers and gang bangers.

Wouldnt be the first 9mm Single Action. Ruger Blackhawk had a 9mm cylinder.

Yeah, me too, but I'd probably just take one to make sitting more comfortable.

But you CAN get one. Even now

Buy an antique model for 10k, then rebarrel to 9mm and add a new 9mm cylinder. Now you have one you dont have to register, no ATT bull shi+ and can shoot anywhere a non restricted can be shot

This is legal to do?

Absolutely is! As long as it wasnt manufactured in one of the "bad" calibers, and the new caliber also isn't on the "bad list, your golden

41lc SAA converted to 9mm would retain antique status, provided it was manufactured prior to 1898

Not the same creature but have to settle for what’s available in our current market. Prophet River just recently brought in the Taylor & Co revolver carbines and one of them was 357 and came with the 9mm convertible wheel, ask me how I know

Mind you I have a soft spot for these.



Bottom one is a Armi Sport (Pietta) and is definitely one of the rarer ones I’ve come across. Absolutely gorgeous wood and a heavy octagon barrel.

Shamelessly stolen internet pic for better detail and the beautiful case hardening of the Taylor & Co

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. Would be a great plinker.

Feasible I guess but how much would that cost to do under $20,000 do you think?

Plus, unless you want to throw away that $20,000 investment you would still need to handload the 9mm down to basically the same power as a French Model 1892 8mm Lebel revolver that come up for sale at around $2000 as an antique Colt SAA is only safely rated to regular use at about 12,000 PSI compared to a 9mm at 35,000 PSI (same as a .357 mag) or close to 3 times it's limit.

So this is basically irresponsible advice that few smart enough should follow.

You need to load your own, antiques won’t handle the pressure of modern smokeless factory ammo

 

[Conanap]

Damn…

While that is all really cool, I think I’ll just stick to buying an antique and shooting in the antique’s calibre…

Have to squish all your own ammo unless you buy a RF but be prepared to spend $5/rnd if you can even find it. Rusty Wood occasionally carries 41LC but it’s close to $300 a box

The above posts are right that you would have to down load the 9mm to be safe. The benefit to this is components like brass and bullets are WAY easier to come by for 9mm rather than 41lc. The brass is expensive and it needs a heeled bullet with a special crimper. You could use smaller diameter hollow based bullets, but they didnt work great when I tried them in my 41lc I sold years ago
