Revolvers chambered in auto pistol cartridges
Moonclip:
Who has them? I have a S&W 25-2 6',a 625-2 5" MODEL OF 1988(not 89), an old customized S&W 1917 .45acp revolver, a Ruger speed six 9x19 ss 2 3/4", and a S&W 940 2" 9x19.
I sold off 2 Colt 1917 with period customizing.
I like the concept with the fast reload the moonclips offer and other advantages of the system,many casual shooters dislike fiddling with the clips though.
I'd like to get a S&W 610 pre lock with the unfluted cylinder. And the .38super 8 shot would be neat but I hate new S&W's with the lock.
S&W did make the 547 which did not need moonclips. And the Ruger single actions in .45acp,9x19,10mm,and the Vaquero single action in .40 would be fun to own and do not need moonclips.
I'd like the Ruger service six in 9mm as well. Astra made some revolvers like this too as did some other Euro manufacturers.

I do not any wheel guns period. I might have a line on a Colt Diamondback for a real good price. ;)

What is wrong with you? :D
Diamondbacks are nice but only come in .38spl,.22lr, and IIRC .22mag.

I'm not much of a revolver guy but I do own a few. I had a Webley that used .45 ACP and half-moon clips; I let it go and wish I'd kept it. If I ever find another Mark VI (altered or not) at a price I can afford I'm buying it. I had the Ruger single actions in .357/9mm--it helped convince me I don't like single actions. The only single action I have is one of those tiny NAA .22s.
A friend of mine has a S&W 547 in his safe and he never shoots it. When we go shooting together he always lets me take it and shoot it, but he refuses to sell it to me even though he admits he'll never bother to shoot it himself. The only thing I can see that's advantageous to revolvers in auto calibers is ammo compatibility or, in the case of 9mm, cost of ammo.

Oh wait I forgot I have a BP wheel gun if that counts. A 1860 Colt Army replica.
