The 9mm Trail Gun...
Gary and Crew added a couple cylinders to my 38 Super Trail Gun.
The gun came in today and I had the opportunity to shoot the 9mm cylinder.
Winchester, Speer, Hornady and Remington ammo all shot well. In fact, all shot very well.
I seriously doubt I'll ever load 9mm ammo. So, trying different factory offerings made sense.
I even shot several cylinders loaded with five different brands of ammo and groups were still good enough for trail use.
Primer strikes were the same on all brands of ammo. No small feat with the wildly varying brands and batches of brass these days.
Will be one versatile gun if the s#
Always wished they made a sleek 9mm auto
Target style like a Ruger 22 , thought about biting the bullet on a artillery model Luger. I believe the 9mm with a little more barrel would make a great plinker/small game gun,maybe even go 30 luger. Hell even the 380 or 25acp would be decent for a rabbit or ground squirrel, if'n they had a little more runnin room.
When I was a kid I wondered why Bill Ruger
never did make the Ruger Std. Auto in 9mm Luger. I'm certain he could have used some genius to sort a delayed blow back system to maintain the same profile. Back then though 9mm was a foreign oddity for military bring backs.
It would be a shocking blast if Ruger decided to market a centerfire 5-shot "Wrangler" in 9mm at a low price point. THAT's the kind of stuff the old man would have done.
