My 627s shoot a rimmed cartridge, but they still benefit from the addition to moon clips. Maybe not for everyone, but for match shooting that is a big plus.The fact that revolver rounds use rimmed cartridges make the using of non rimmed rounds an after fact in the building of the gun.
Nice to have for the utility of it but should not be the primary means of deployment
I have the same set up but needs to be mentioned that the 9mm cylinder does not require moon clips on my model!! that is the bonus of this set up, i actually shoot the 9mm on a rest and bust clay pigeons at 100 yards all day long!!!!!!!!!!!I have the New Ruger Blackhawk with the .38/357 & 9mm cylinders. It is a nice single action revolver. I never shoot the 9mm cylinder but it is nice to have it if I ever wanted to.
Does it shoot the moon clipped rounds as well as the rimmed rounds?My 627s shoot a rimmed cartridge, but they still benefit from the addition to moon clips. Maybe not for everyone, but for match shooting that is a big plus.
For the 627 (38/.357 8-shot N-Frame) the rimmed cases (38& .357) are placed into the moon clips. They do not need to be, but the moon clipped rounds do not require a speed loader and they keep your brass together after you dump the brass from the cylinder.Does it shoot the moon clipped rounds as well as the rimmed rounds?
A farther jump to the forcing cone and then In to the rifling. If it shoots the moon clipped rounds as well as the longer rimmed rounds it would seem to defy all I was taught of accurate barrels. Then again I have seen very long jump to the lands and grooves In Rifles outshoot a match chamber with only a small jump to said above. Not always do things wok how we envision they shall.
The long cases of the 38 and .357 do not load really quickly into the cylinder. Shorter cases do. I can reload my S&W 625 (45ACP w/ moon clips) as fast as I can reload my 1911s in practice.I really can't see the appeal of a 9mm revolver. A .357 mag. revolver is much more versatile. Of course I reload for 9mm, .38 SPL and .357 mag. among others, so there is no big savings regarding ammo costs.
It’s a great hobby. Enjoy.I am on the lookout for a quality 9mm revolver. I like revolvers but I am consolidating the calibers I use. I'm down to only 9mm for my centerfire handguns. With a 9mm revolver, I can have my revolver and still use the ammo I stock up on. It may not be the most tactical setup but I think it would be fun and a change from the plastic fantastics I have.
I wonder if you could load that with 9mm major rds without harm.You may like the Ruger Super GP100 Competition in 9mm. It's not a carry gun, but for range and competition it should be great. It's an 8-shot revolver built on the Ruger Redhawk frame. When it came out I thought it might be cool to have, but I have three S&W 8-shot revolvers in 38/.357 so it would not mke sense for me. I shoot revolvers a lot. More than half my handguns are revolvers. I use my 8-shot revolvers for steel challenge, ICORE, and range fun.

My god man, it’s a Ruger, you could load it with dynamite loads and it wouldn’t hurt it.I bet you could load that with 9mm major rds without harm.
I shot them an email to ask about that just now.My god man, it’s a Ruger, you could load it with dynamite loads and it wouldn’t hurt it.
Bill don’t build junk.
It’s a very strong gun, I own several. I know you’re not a boot, you of corse realize I’m only joking about dynamite of course. But there are those on this forum that may not get the purple in the post.I shot them an email to ask about that just now.
If they say yes I'd be very tempted.
Add it to my bucket list of firearms
I would think a revolver from ruger being a competition revolver should be able to handle 9mm major. I'll find out though.It’s a very strong gun, I own several. I know you’re not a boot, you of corse realize I’m only joking about dynamite of course. But there are those on this forum that may not get the purple in the post.
So for those individuals, dynamite was a joke. Rugers are about the strongest pistols out there.
It is built on the Ruger Redhawk. That takes the hottest 44 mag loads. I would think 9mm major loads should be fine. Why would you do that, though?I wonder if you could load that with 9mm major rds without harm.
For the extra power and because it can.It is built on the Ruger Redhawk. That takes the hottest 44 mag loads. I would think 9mm major loads should be fine. Why would you do that, though?
That is the cool factor with revolvers.For me the revolver is king if you make your own ammo. Any SA will have a powder/bullet range that it likes to function in, but you can load any type of ammo, including shot loads, in a revolver without concern for function.
