Hello everybody, I have some questions about the 9X23 Winchester caliber:

There are some revolvers chambered for the .38 Super auto caliber, like some models 627 or 686 of S&W. Is it possible to shoot the 9X23 caliber Winchester in them in a safety way? Do they use the same moon clips in both calibers?

I heard that is possible to make the 9X23 cutting the .223 o .222 cases to 23 mm, is it true?

One of those reloads using .223 or .222 loaded at .38 super levels can feed a normal semiautomatic .38 super pistol? Or is a re-chamber need because the lack of the semi rimed cases?
