So let's say shit hit the fan and you only had a .38 special revolver and some 9x19mm parabellum. Could you somehow jerry-rig the revolver or the ammunition to work with shit you have lying around your house/ home depot?

>>33814319
Unless you're a machinist, you probably could not. The cases will not headspace or extract correctly due to the lack of a rim. You would need to have a completely new cylinder (and possibly ejector) made and fitted if you wanted to do something like what you're describing.

Gee, you tell me.

Kind of considering right now to send my 637 cylinder to TK custom and convert it to 9mm.
>>
>>33814341
stop using terms when you don't know what they mean.
>>
>>33814319
an not shoot a rimless round in a revolver without moon clips8, i mean you can but you need the chamber to be just right so you couldnt change a 38 to take a 9mmpara.without moonclips.
they do make a 357 that can shoot 9mm as well as a 45 long colt/ 410 that can shoot 45acp with moon clips

Why don't you go buy a $200 M&P Shield, and stop using bull shit calibers.

Is owning a $300 piece of metal and polymer the benchmark of a successful life to you?

I own many guns. None of which will be posted to satisfy an autist on /k/.

Pathetic, really.

because your mom's bedroom is full of dudes and there was no more room
>>
>>33816367
what are you talking about? there is nothing wrong with 38spl or 9mm parabellum
a revolver in 357 maximum would be more ideal however i unsure if anyone makes one that takes moon clips from factory so you would have to take it to some one to machine the cylinder.

>>33816440
It's time for you to move on, nogun.

>>33816416
Saturday Night Specials was a name given to cheap, often small revolvers back in the mid 20th century.

bait veiled in bait, truly masterful

should I trade in my ruger lcr 38 for the 9mm?
>>
>>33814319
I have read, but don't recomend that french partisans peened captured 9mm to fit in 38 S&W victory model revolvers
>>
>>33817041
Probably not, unless it's your only .38, and you already own a few 9mms. It's a perfectly capable round, and the rim is well suited to whealguns. Moonclips bend easily, and a bent clip will bind the cylinder, causing the weapon to malfunction. Even worse, it can be hard to tell if a clip is bent without cycling the weapon (similar to bent feed lips on a mag).

>>33816242

I might not be a mathematician, I say it'll work.

OP, you should go for it.
>>
>>33816488

Pretty much.
Guess it's time to gtfo from 4chan for a few months.
See you all later.

>>33816416
It's got a barrel that's blue and cold. It ain't good for nothing exept putting a man 6 feet in a hole.

>>33817041
no, you should trade it for a 327 because come on. Come on.
>>
>>33814489
Spring steel clips that require the cylinder to be machined to accept said clip and a tool to be loaded and unloaded without damaging the clip itself

And who the fuck calls them adapter clips
>>
>>33816242
You mean 35000 psi. .38spl cylinders aren't made of butter you jackass.

>9mm is too large to fit in unmodified .38 spl chambers
>9mm is rimless this means that you need at least to have moonclip cutout for headspacing and extraction
>9mm operates on much higher pressures
