Yes, the chambers are cut so the 9mm cartridge headspaces on the case mouth, same as a semi-auto. And since it's a single-action with a ejector rod, kicking out the empties is no problem for no rim.
I have the ruger blackhawk in 45 colt and a 45 acp cylinder. They are both very accurate. Technically the 9mm should be less accurate because the diameter of 9mm is a thousandth or 2 smal? Need some testing. ler than 38/357. But in actuality Needs some testing. I'm willing to test someone's revolver if they'll let me.
My Ruger Black Hawk .38-.357/9mm convertible didn't shoot the 9mm terribly accurately except with cast bullets. Those weren't too bad. Still nothing like a .38 wadcutter.
Years ago I had a Ruger Black Hawk that had the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda curious how they keep the 9mm loads seated because they're rimless.

No doubt exactly like every other 9mm. With a shoulder in the chamber.
