As to the question if they shoot 9mm, yes, and accurate as well. I shot the national steel match with it in 9mm since I didn't have any 38 super loaded in time. All rounds worked in the moonclips and fed in the cylinder just fine. Jerry M. check the gun out for me and noted the grips are not his own but knockoffs the factory uses, they are to thin. I had to wrap them with grip tape for the match (temp only) until I can get some Hogues. I used a CR speed holster (used) but saw a bladetech at the match and would recomment it over the CR Speed.

I just wish they would make it in a 4" barrel length and people would start lobbying IDPA to make it legal for Enhanced Service Pistol Division! 8 rounds and all! Darn, I’d love to try one out!

Super cool gun, especially with a dot on top. It’s not for IPSC/USPSA, the 625s (45 ACP) rule there because of the 6 shot per reload rule. Super cool gun, especially with a dot on top.

Or those grips, HIDEOUS! But I sorta like it. When are they gonna release another version of the 646, L-framed .40 S&W? I always wanted one of those! Not a big fan of moonclips myself.

In my opinion, all of the Performance Center revolvers with non-standard barrel profiles have been damned ugly since Paul Liebenberg and John French left. The shorter .38 Super should be easier to speedload as it can't flop around quite as much in the moonclips as the .357 Magnum. The shorter case should also eject more easily.

Outside of the competition market, I am not sure how popular they are, but in certain circles such as dedicated ICORE shooters, or people who use a revolver for Steel Challenge, an 8 shot .38 Super revolver is pretty much <i>the berries</i> for those games. Man, now I want one of these. They drop these on the market occasionally – I remember they did a run of ‘em back in 2001 or so.
