Can a cylinder in 9mm be rechambered to 356 GNR for my Ruger Blackhawk convertible revolver? That way I would still have a 357 mag cylinder for the gun.

Nice idea.

Exactly what I had Gary do.

All of the revolver markings stay the same and just the convertible cylinder is labeled with the proper cartridge. Worked out great but I often think that sometimes keeping the 9 mm cylinder would’ve been a good cheap ammo to shoot.... but that being said I never even shot 9 mm through the gun prior to the recharger

Being a believer in better to have and not need ...

than need and not have, I would probably keep the 9mm cylinder and ask Gary to make a brand new GNR. May not cost too much more and gives us options. Gary made a new .45 ACP cylinder from scratch for my 45 LC Vaquero and it is fantastic, more accurate than the factory LC.

Spell correct got me.

Not “prior to the recharger”
Spell correct got me. Prior to the rechamber

no problem at all. We would need your gun in here

to test fire it and set the headspace. It is $250 plus shipping back.
