Deputy: a 9mm snubnose revolver. Thank goodness it isn't one of those horrible, terrorist preferred, x-ray undetectable, multi-shot, auto-loading semi-automatic 9mm machine pistols that self-destruct in crowded marketplaces.
Thanks be to the Good Lord for people with common sense.
Now, all that aside, will that fire the rimmed 9mm ammo that was made by Federal a few years back, without the clips?? Does the cartridge headspace on the rim so you can use the gun in an emergency without the full or half-moon clips?
If you find that the typical or average 9mm loading does not give you what you want from that shorty 940, I have some loads from an old Lyman manual for cast bullets in the 9mm that may help it perform better.
Goody fer ya. Hope this helps. Mikey.
