the 9mm cylinder is so accurate in any Blackhawk, much less my modified custom. It is rattling a .355" bullet down a .357" bore (through .358" throats, if that matters). Plus the bullet must make about an inch jump from the case to engage the rifling! Should be an exercise in frustration but it is not. It's extremely accurate. Also the recoil and blast is much less, seemingly, compared to a .38/.357 firing the same weight bullet at the same velocity. At least it seems to me. Velocity in my 6.5" is identical to my 5" Beretta or FN HP.

With 9mm FMJ running $9 a box of 50 the cylinder pays for itself, in economy, very shortly. Lots cheaper than .22 WMR and the brass will be worth something, goes in your pocket rather than scattered all over.
