Section 8: Handguns Subject: small frame revolver Msg# 1216037

In my opinion, "serious" gun writers are few and far between, mostly being either hobbyists, or specialists in something else than what they are writing about. Even if excessive free bore doesn't bother one, the unnecessary extra length and weight of a 9mm-chambered revolver that is long enough and heavy enough to handle being chambered for .357 Magnum strikes me personally as ridiculous.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I have to say I am a fan of the extractor assembly on the Charter Arms, and I think they are better quality today than ever. I think they have designed a better solution to using pistol rounds in revolvers than any of the major revolver makers. I am wondering however if I am the only one the forum who sees the long cylinder on ALL these other 9mm revolvers as a downside? Probably! Seriously, I understand your concerns about the bullet "jump" from the longer cylinders, but I've yet to read a serious writer on a gunzine make it a big deal. (Maybe I've missed it?) Harvey |
OTOH, the manufacturers don't seem to mind producing them, likley for cost savings. Some smart alecs might consider it as adding to the barrel length!
