Agreed. Whatever caliber you choose, I wouldn't go with anything less than a 6" barrel.
I like 9mm, but I don't consider it a hunting round in a handgun. Maybe it's just me.Caliber and price aside, is this a decent revolver? Would I be better served with say, a sp101 in 9mm if I could find one, or another revolver in a caliber I don’t have?
The 9mm revolver would simply be for range use/the old lady. She really is liking my sp101 in 357, but the lack of ammo makes life difficult.I like 9mm, but I don't consider it a hunting round in a handgun. Maybe it's just me.
No experience whatsoever with pistol calibers larger than .357, but I'm sure someone here can answer that for ya.
AFAIK, most 9mm revolvers require moon clips, but some do not. Charter Arms makes a "Pit Bull" that has spring loaded retainers to eject the rounds, but they caution against using steel casings.The 9mm revolver would simply be for range use/the old lady.

One drop (a small drop) on each pin and one on the rebound slide where it interfaces with the frame is all it needs. You don't want a lot of oil and no grease at all in there to attract grit. Revolvers do best when largely "Dry" inside the lockwork. Those lube points will let the oil migrate to where it needs to go.Well I got one. Made in 2010, I do t believe it has been fired. Suggestions on a lubricant? The gun is dry. I want to throw something in there so I can go get some shooting in before complete disassembly/degrease/deburring and regrease.
