I'm still looking for the best 9mm revolver option. I've just come across the Taurus 692 Tracker, which has an easily swappable .357 magnum/.38 special and 9mm cylinder. It comes in 3" or 6.5", with either matte stainless or black. I've been watching YouTube reviews and seems to be an excellent performer, but more accurate in .357 than 9mm. One reviewer was able to accurately shoot with .357 at 25 yards.
Both cylinders hold 7 rounds. In 9mm you're supposed to use moon clips and they help in loading and especially unloading, but it will run without them. Pricing seems very competitive.
So far on my list, with no particular preference are the following:
Chiappa (6 round)
Ruger Blackhawk Convertible (6 round)
Ruger GP100 Super Competition 9mm (8 round)
A vintage S&W 547 (6 round)
S&W Performance Center 929 (8 round)
Should the Taurus 692 be on the list? It frankly seems to combine the best of all of these other. I know, I know it's from Brazil. But which US gun maker isn't supporting a guy just like Bolsonaro?
I have plenty of time--NJ handgun purchase permits are taking 2 to 3 months now to process, due to Trenton being overwhelmed by requests.
