9mm single action

[HighValleyRanch]

Are there any other single actions other than the Ruger Blackhawk availble in a .357/9mm convertible? Since I have carry weapons in both 9 and .357, I thought that it might be neat to finally have a single action around the ranch that takes both calibers.

ain't that one of them ITALIANI single actions like in those Italian spagetti space cowboy movies?

That Chiappa Rhino is one strange looking SA revolver !

Back to the original question. So the blackhawk is the only option for. a convertible .357/9mm single action?

Pretty sure only ruger makes the .357/9mm conversion revolvers at the moment. You could get a 357 SA cylinder cut for moonclips in any SA revolver though to run 9mm. The 9mm is only 0.002 smaller than .357. Just give the cylinder and barrel a good cleaning after each range trip and I’d see no issue.

Hmmm, I tried loading some 9mm in a few .357 cylinders and they would not go all the way in? Too tight about a 1/4 inch from the rim.

Yeah, you have to have the chambers reamed for 9mm because it is wider at the base than a 38/357. Then firing 38/357 in that chamber would bulge them more than normal.

One would be better off with 2 cylinder - like Ruger and Taurus do.

I have the Ruger New Model Blackhawk in the .357/9mm and can say for certain they are very nice shooting.I was surprised at the accuracy.
The 9mm cylinder is chambered for the 9mm specifically-there casing headspaces on the case mouth therefore there is a ledge in the cylinder where the round rests.

Freedom Arms model 97 in 357 mag. can be ordered with a 9mm cylinder.

Freedom Arms is a little above my pay grade! Thanks for the suggestion though!
