FWIW the two models S&W offered were the Model 940, an all-SS hammerless "Centennial" style 5-shot J frame that used conventional moon clips, and the Model 547, a 6-shot K frame with retracting tabs in the ejector star to eliminate the need for moon clips. Neither model sold particularly well and both are sought-after collector's items now.

1987 and 2001 Smith & Wesson was owned by the British engineering company. Taurus is made in the Americas.

Charter Arms did come out with the 40 rimless revolver. They mentioned a 45ACP revolver too that went vapor gun.

They have had the 9mm revolver listed for a long time. I have been trying to find one for a long time. They simply are not out there... anywhere. If you want something different, I suggest you try the Taurus. They ARE available, and use a proven system for a rimless revolver. There are some issues with the Taurus(heavy trigger on the M380) but it should be easily solved with springs and a fluff and buff.

Here is a review of the Charter Arms 9mm PITBULL:
http://www.yankeegunnuts.com/2012/10...s-pitbull-9mm/ I'm not sure what the 9mm revolver neato factor is all about, but I would think you'd really have to be obsessed with getting a 9mm wheelgun - just for the sake of having a 9mm wheelgun, to overlook the other issues with this gun.

The appeal of a 32acp or 380acp revolver, with a frame proportional to the size of the cartridge, is that it would be a very small gun. It could be I frame sized or smaller. And several such tiny revolvers were available 100 years ago, but they're somehow impossible to manufacture with today's technology. |

I dont want to buy the Charter Arms 9mm revolver, but do want to take a look at one, so I can see/understand the extractor. My Taurus 905 is just a great little revolver, so that is what I am staying with. I cant understand, why people cant understand, that the 9mm revolver is a great concept. For those of us that dont reload(me)and must buy factory ammo, the 9mm make perfect sense, from an economical standpoint. Quote:

For about $250 you can get your S&W or Ruger converted to 9mm. |

Those of us screaming for a .32 acp revolver want the gun scaled down to the size of the little cartridge.

I see a real advantage for a person, who for whatever reason, is recoil sensitive. I have elderly parents, who could not control the recoil of a 38 special, or of course, anything larger. So what is left, when considering a revolver? 22LR and 22 WMR. A 32 ACP revolver would be nice, because ammo is available, and recoil is reasonable.
For that purpose, there are guns on larger frames that would do the trick. SP-101 in 32 H&R mag or 327 Federal. The S&W I have. Taurus makes a 327. All of these guns will fire a 32 H&R or 32 S&W long, which are soft recoiling. No need to put a 32 acp in these. The only advantage of the short little 32 acp cartridge over a 32 SW long or 32 H&R is to shorten the frame. |

.32 acp is more powerful than .32 long.
