Thoughts on 9mm revolver

[analog_kidd]

OK, so my wife just took her carry class and is thinking about a carry gun. She is really liking the idea of a revolver for it's simplicity and reliability.

Does anyone know of a decent revolver chambered in 9mm?

I like 9mm because of it's price over most other ammo. She currently owns a Bersa .380, but won't shoot it because ammo is so expensive. She'd be way more inclined to shoot more often at 9mm prices.

Also, I shoot 9mm and having the same ammo for both guns would a bonus.

Not much of a selection in 9mm revolvers. You might try to pick up a used S&W 940 off of Gunbroker.

Tauras makes a few diffrent 905 models in the 9mm. One has a concealed Hammer.

Price ranges from 300-400$

I keep forgetting about Taurus.

I agree we have quiet a few Taurus guns in my family, one is a 38 snubby my wife carried( mostly in her friggin glove box- ooh time out while I get my gun:screwy: **&^%$#@@# yea ticks me off) but it is a titanium and shoots great she really liked it but has since taken my Kel Tec in 380 less pop but more rounds and will carry it more. I added one of the clips to the gun so it could be carried clipped to the top of a pocket in her purse and be quicker to get too. ( you could loose a bull elephant in some of the messes in her purses) as for ammo cost how much do you spend now on life ins. and the like, same thing as I see it.

Good luck brother.

There's a cool website written mostly by women shooters and geared toward women called Cornered Cat. I like it- I have learned a lot from that website. She has an article on semi vs revolver at:

Seems like I saw a Ruger 9mm revolver up at G&L a while back.

Do you reload? Cuz you could reload .38's for her and make some bunny fart loads that are super easy to handle; Since a .38 would be so much easier to get a hold of. Unless you just want a 9mm revolver, and I can understand that! I wouldn't mind adding one to my collection either. I bet they are a real pleasure to shoot.
