Taurus has done one, so has Smith and Wesson, but Ruger seems to love making them and have taken a number of their wheelguns and chambered them for automatic cartridges. The most practical and popular by far has been using the 9mm. First off, 9mm ammo is cheaper, more common, and readily available on a broader degree of defensive loadings than 38 Special or Magnum.
Without a doubt, Magnum outclasses it. It's also twice the price with substantially more recoil. If you were shopping for a full-sized revolver, a makes more sense.
If you were compact, especially for a snub nose, then the 9mm is a much better option. A magnum from an air weight revolver will slap and sting. Shooting a Magnum from a lightweight snub-nose is rarely a comfortable experience. A 38 Special still gets the job done, and these tend to rule the snub nose market. In a snub nose variant, the 9mm performs quite well, and modern defensive loads can give it more or less oomph.
There are loads from Hornady and Liberty Defense that offer less recoil. Best of all, you can buy cheap ammo to train with and do so in bulk from nearly everywhere that sells ammo. The Ruger LCR has proven to be an impressive revolver. This 9mm revolver is like every other and requires you to use moon clips for easy loading and ejection. Moon clips add a rim to the ammunition, which allows the ejector to do its job. The moon clips are cheap and can be found for right around ten bucks for three clips.
These clips can act as speed loaders and make it rapid and easy to reload your weapon. The LCR has a fantastic trigger, and that helps quite a bit with accuracy. These rounds come in training friendly FMJ loads and are quite soft shooting. The LCR remains the only centerfire revolver I currently own. While I liked my 38s, my 45 Colts, my s, and even my single 41 Magnum, due to ammo cost, I never shot them.
With the LCR in 9mm, I can hit the range whenever without going broke. There are a few things to know about 9mm revolvers before you invest in one. First and foremost is crimp jump. Crimp or bullet jump occurs because of recoil in a revolver. Every round feels G forces as the gun recoils, and the sudden jarring effect can cause 9mm bullets to jump the crimp. Jumping the crimp is the bullets moving forward inside their cases.
You can end up with a locked up revolver if the round unseats from the case. With 9mm, it can be a risk is ultra-lite revolvers. Ruger specifically uses the frames for the LCR to avoid this issue. This allows the A standard 9mm revolver on the market for a decade, many still place the Taurus in their Top Five due to its sturdy design and occasional new features. Still, recent design improvements make it lighter and narrower than many competing guns. An engineering innovation they added recently: Stellar Clips for loading clips easier.
The reasons for buying one of these revolvers will again differ, depending on personal use. No matter what you need, the benefits of owning one are well-noted:. The above models should give you a good idea of the best 9mm revolvers.

Far from outdated, the revolver is tried-and-true. Even so, the handgun has remained relevant to modern shooters, evolving into more useful and convenient forms.
Next to light alloy frames and hammerless designs, one adaptation gaining favor presently is the 9mm revolver. Though, truth be told, the concept is nothing new.

Adding to this, the gun comes with an adjustable rear sight, which goes a long way in taking advantage of the other accuracy enhancements.
So, all of this is great, but the Performance Center marvel is still a ounces L-frame revolver, with a William Taft-sized monolithic cylinder. Yes, this adds up to a milder shooter, thus better accuracy. But, it will take some consideration to puzzle out if it fits your carry profile.
The is an excellent 9mm revolver, but perhaps not for your first every-day carry gun. Sooner or later, nearly every wheel gunner has an inkling to toy around with a. This inevitably leads to one gunmaker—Charter Arms.
