Most gun makers have tried a 9mm revolver a time or three and we don't buy them. It may be different now that there is not so much more cost savings in reloads as many of don't have the time. The economics of reloading are not as good as they used to be if components don't come down as fast as 9mm ammo.

Jerry pushing 9mm revolvers will give them some momentum too.

I would sure like to have a 9mm in S&W stainless steel 649 with a 3 inch barrel a pinned front sight and a little better rear sight that could be drift for windage.

That was the first snub nosed 357 magnum on J Frame with a shrouded hammer. I have 649-2 38 Special with a2 inch barrel that I can roll a5 inch ball out to 30 yards on a good day in good light with these 70+ year old eyes.

If the ever strike oil on me I'll just fined a 649-3 in 357 and have one made. It should cost about 2 grand for the parts and work.

The reloading speed and ammo choice are the main things I see gnu for a 9mm wheel gun.
