Default Korth L Frame Conversion for 9mm

I remember hearing about this a year ago. I just saw another article a few day ago. However I have not heard of anyone who has actually gotten this and uses it.

Anyone out there with this? Txs!

Never heard of it. Just yesterday, I was thinking how strange that nobody has conquered the rimless case, for use in a revolver. Funny how there wasn't a price listed. So don't keep us in suspense, how does yours shoot with this conversion, lol? By the way...how much is it?

Actually Smith & Wesson did in the early 80s with the 547. The extraction was very reliable and ingenious. I'm anxious to see how Korth does it.

Actually, S&W did it in 1917 with the .45acp revolver of that year. Much simpler and more reliable than the 547. Without moon clips, a little bothersome to eject, but with them, the way all revolvers should be built.

I don't own one. I'll ping them to see the price/availability.

Charter Arms has a non-moon clup. I have seen it. I did not like the workmanship r the trigger.

Well, since it's Korth, it's probably more than I'd want to spend. The price would likely eliminate any ammo savings that shooting 9mm would provide. But still, it's a strange idea, making major parts for a competitor's product. Thanks for sharing.
