Need Help : Rechamber 357 to 9mm
So I want to benefit from forum experience and knowledge on what to expect from rechambering a SW revolver to 9mm. Looks like Pinnacle is well thought of......but I lack knowledge on following questions:
1. Can I expect similar accuracy from the revolver moving from 38/357 to 9mm luger....whether fmj or hollow point factory loads..(regular or +p or +p+ 9mm)
2. Is barrel length a critical decison....I lean towards 5" then 4" then 6" but not sure if one length is preferred for the new caliber.
3. I am not competitive shooter and don't reload...just want for protection / conceal carry...in different caliber...non- semiauto...Will shoot factory ammo.
4. So are my expectations off in assuming this will be an accurate shooting and dependable conversion ...that one could bet the farm on ...if needed?
5. Any particular problems to expect?...
6. I read moon clips are not friendly to some ammo types like winchester....and I expect to have this modification done as well as rechambering
7. Finally, which s and w is best to modify....I will go buy one and convert it....so 686 or...???????
8. Also assume better to convert a smith than a Ruger gp100...
Thanks for any input....I have 638, 627 PC, 625-6 and Python and Marlin 1894C so am not giving up the regular calibers at all...just want more flexibility...
Any and all advice welcome...............thanks in advance...great forum
