Default Converting 65-3 to 9mm

am I spinning wheels converting this to 9mm?

I have given up looking for 9mm revolver at a fair price - have this 65-3 but hate to convert cyl - I can not find a 65 cyl - some one have 9 revolver they are unhappy with?
what luck have you had with conversions? this is not for carry - I just want a 9 revolver to shoot -
thanks

Any K-frame .38 or .357 cylinder should work in your 65. Find one and send it, with the gun, to Mark Hartshorne at Pinnacle. He'll rechamber the spare cylinder and fit it to your gun so that you can swap cylinders when you want. The rechambered cylinder will allow you to shoot several different carridges - 9mm, .38 Super, 9x21, 356 TSW, 9x23, 9mm Largo, etc. Just so you're aware, you HAVE to use moonclips with this conversion.

Mark does excellent work. He rechambered a scandium j-frame for me and I couldn't be happier with it.

Tell him Scott in Maine sent you.
