    I have an SP101, they are heavy little bastards.

      Not to be pedantic but just about any revolver can fire a rimless cartridge of the same caliber, extraction is the problem.

      Blackhawks, 625, Model 25, etc. all can fire rimless variants no problem. The cartridges headspace on the chamber step.

        True lol. I was just assuming it was a swing out cylinder design giving the carry related topic and thinking of a quick reload perspective.

          Yeah, that's one of the advantages with moon clips. I have a 9mm cylinder for my smith but I've never used it. I personally enjoy the offerings with the revolver cartridges and never saw the need for a rimless cartridge revolver, but if you're buying ammo, it makes perfect sense to consolidate.

          Some guys like the Smith 610, 10mm, then you bore the cylinder for 10mm magnum, but I can't get on board. 41 mag beats 10mm badly and is right on par with 10mm magnum, without the crazy hard to find and load 10mm mag case.

              If I thought I could conceal a N frame I'd already have another 41.

                I don't see a Tarus of any kind in my future. I've never been very impressed with their qc.

                  Concealment holsters exist for them.

                    My frame won't really allow. My dad gas a 2.5" M29 that I tried and they are just too bulky unless it's winter maybe.

                        I have a 642 Pro that's a no lock model and cut for moon clips from the factory. I bought it a few years back from CTD for $330 before they pissed everybody off with ripoff prices on scare items.

                        My only complaint was that the trigger was very heavy at about 15 lbs from the factory. That's fairly typical for double action only carry revolvers, but it was pretty hard to shoot accurately and wasn't to my liking.

                        I installed the Apex Tactical trigger spring kit and polished up the internals and the trigger pull was below 10 lbs and very smooth, but I had issues with light primer strikes.

                        I swapped out the Apex stuff for Wilson Combat springs and it's heavier at 12 lbs but still smooth and much easier to shoot accurately than it was from the factory. I've put several hundred rounds through it like this now with no issues.

                        As far as I know you can still buy no lock models. Here is one from Bud's.

                        That Korth 9mm that was mentioned looks pretty damn sweet. At $1000 MSRP, it's way more money than the other options discussed here, but as Korths go it's pretty cheap.

                        The Korth Sky Marshall may be the single most innovative 9mm revolver on the market. And I'm not talking about the exterior of the gun. This is one rimless revolver that doesn't require moon clips, or anything extra. Check it out.

                          I have a 442 and a lcr. I like carrying the lcr more but the j frame seems to be of higher quality in my unprofessional opinion.

                          Can't go wrong with either though.
