Default 9mm moonclip from Sw-67

Can you shoot moonclip 9mm from a Sw-67?
I saw to custom website selling 9mm moonclips. Has anyone tried this? How is the accuracy?

Only if the cylinder and extractor have been custom machined for using moon clips. It's a somewhat common modification for the 357 Magnums, for the model 67 I don't think it's adviseable. The 9mm caliber operates at a much higher pressure than the 38 spl. and it's open to question if the cylinder for the model 67 has been heat treated to withstand these pressures.

The chambers would also have to be cut to accomodate the tapered 9mm case.
