Moon Clips for 9mm
- Thread starter tinker2
- Start date
You can't just shoot 9mm in a .357 cylinder. For one, there isn't room for the case rim AND the moon clip. For another, without the tapered cylinder used for 9mm you're likely to have a variety of problems including rather nasty fouling and a beat up forcing cone.
So you can't fit 9mm on a moon clip in there, and if you could the results may be rather undesireable.

TK Custom has moonclips for all kinds of revos (incl. the GP-100 and 686) and can direct you to who'll convert your revolver if you're interested in doing so (and haven't already done so).

In the link posted you'll note that they don't offer 9mm moonclips for any gun that isn't already 9mm. They offer no 6 shot 9mm moonclips for any S&W cylinder.
This isn't a minor conversion - it is a whole new cylinder. And then where are you going to get the moon clips to feed it?
You'd be far better off finding a 9mm Security Six, a S&W 547 or a Medusa than trying to get a .357 revolver to accept tapered, short 9mm cases.
