The S&W 610 is hammer with the more potent 10mm loads, my only complaint are the moon clips, if I decide to try Silhouette again this summer, planning on use it for field pistol.I've never understood the attraction of a semi-auto cartridge in a revolver.

9mm revolver? Why? I dont get it

After 100%. I tried a Diamondback SDR 2” revolver in 9mm. It was a well built, solid gun, accurate as heck. About the 4-5th time I loaded enough moon clips to shoot 100 rounds at the range, I’d had enough. It went. Now my only two revolvers are a Kimber K6s .357 and a SW 432 UC (6 rounder) - and I’m done experimenting with revolvers
. These two do everything I need in a revolver, which is mainly fit in my pocket when I need it to.I know it makes most wonder why, but I have a Ruger LCR in 9mm.I've never understood the attraction of a semi-auto cartridge in a revolver.
So why?
Convenience. So I have no excuse not to get some snubby practice whenever I’m at the range.
I always have 9mm ammo around. There is some in the back of the SUV somewhere, no matter what I’m shooting. There is no reason I can’t take even a few shots with the LCR.
I know I could, and should, always keep some .38 Spl ammo handy, but the simple fact is I don’t. But there is always some .308, .223, 9mm, and .22 with me. I’m more likely to have some 9 loaded than .38. I’m more likely to find and buy 9mm on sale.
Is it better than a “regular” revolver caliber? I suppose it does strike a nice balance between 38 and 357 without the nasty blast, but it’s simple convenience that makes it work for me.

Me either. Ya, moonclips might be cool, but if they get even slightly bent, they are useless.I've never understood the attraction of a semi-auto cartridge in a revolver.
