Thanks to Ole Dog for the 9mm cylinder and my local gunsmith for necessary machine work. Didn't even need to reset the sights for it to shoot to point of aim.

You need to hook me up with your gunsmith.

Looks great! I have always wanted a 9mm wheelgun. As much as I shoot, 1-2X weekly, it would save me $$$ on ammo.

Exactly why I wanted it! I love shooting steel challenge with my DW.

That's a beauty! If you do not want to spend the cash to do a Dan swap may I suggest the Taurus 357/9mm under $600 and you get both calibers and built in ported barrel! There are other 9mm revolvers under $400 but I like this Taurus! It's pretty good looking also. I also found this Smith & Wesson 547 made in the 80's I believe they are a bit rare. good news is they do not require moon clips!

I have a, couple of S&W 547s, a couple of Manurhin MR 73s with 9 mm cylinders, Phillips and Rogers Medusa 47 that chambers anything 357/9mm, the Taurus you mention, a 9mm DW, a couple of Alfa Proj Revolvers in 9mm, a Charter Arms in 9mm, a SP101 in 9mm, and I think a couple of others. I still have 2 of the DW 9mm cylinders too. I will put one in a 715 and probable a porkchop model 15 with its own barrel assembly. Just haven't gotten a round tuit yet.

I decided to bid on the S&W 547 It ended up going for $1527 WOW I guess they are rare. I started looking a bit more. Only a couple more for sale around 2K I was intrigued by the way it works and not needed moon clips! how was it when you shot your 547? I may keep looking see if I can win a auction for a bit less maybe $1300 but that's wishful thinking. They did not make very many of these. I wonder if any other model out there has the same function of the S&W? I guess it has little fingers that come out and grab the 9mm shell when you push the extractor?

$1527 is lower than they have been going lately. I actually have 4 of them. Haven't shot them yet. They are said to be the most expensive to build Revolvers S&W ever made. The berylium copper strips inside the cylinder chambers are irreplaceable so I am in no hurry to shoot one. I do have a shooter grade one though that will be used. I also have a 3" that went back to the factory when new for nickel plating. It may be the only one in factory nickel. $2500 seems to be the going rate mostly. The story is they were built for Israel for the Palestinian Authority police force but the contract was canceled and they were sold on the US market with very little demand back then for a 9mm Revolver. Speed loaders are collectable themselves, going for over $100.
Manurhin also has cylinders that don't use moon clips. Phillips and Rogers Medusa 47 has a similar system and can chamber cartridges down to 30 caliber but of course, accuracy suffers below 357/9 mm. It is an apocalypse gun. Korth and Janz also have 9mm cylinder options. The 9mm cylinders for the European guns are selling for huge money. I don't have any 9mm cylinders for my Korths.
The 547s actually have 2 firing pins. One holds the bottleneck 9mm case from backing out when fired while the regular firing pin hits the primer. I think there were 10,000 made. 7000 in 3" and 3000 in 4" but it seems the 3" goes for more money usually. They basically are the same as a 13-3 Heavy Barrel but with the 9mm cylinder and double firing pins.
