I see where you are going with this but at least he is offering an alternative if the 9mm doesn't work out for the OP...I don't think he is ripe for crucifixion just yet.
I asked to make my point clear, and I'm glad that you see it now.

I personally would like the LCR in .357 it is a slight bit heavier but the ability to practice with .38 and use .357 for self defense is worth the extra ounce. Yes, I have shot both with self defense rounds and with factory grips the .357 is manageable.
Thanks, but this isn't what I'm looking for.
I want a 9mm revolver for ammo consolidation purposes. Yeah, .357 is better, but so is the Glock 20C in my dad's safe...

Does Crimp/Bullet Jump typically only happen with brass case or will steel and other cases do the same? perhaps a stronger crimp with a less pliable material?

9mm headspaces on the case mouth so the "crimp or lack of" is more of a taper.
Actually. The 9mm model is slightly heavier than the .357 model. Both are built on the same frame, but the cylinder holes are slightly smaller on the 9mm, resulting in the insignificant difference in weight.I personally would like the LCR in .357 it is a slight bit heavier but the ability to practice with .38 and use .357 for self defense is worth the extra ounce.

Ammo consolidation isn't the only benefit. Reloads using moon clips are very fast. That's what attracted me to the concept.Thanks, but this isn't what I'm looking for.

Typically revolver ammo uses a roll crimp, where the edge of the cartridge case it rolled over into a crimp groove in the bullet. Semi auto ammo headspaces on the case mouth and typically uses a taper crimp, with is less effective at holding the bullet under recoil.Does Crimp/Bullet Jump typically only happen with brass case or will steel and other cases do the same? perhaps a stronger crimp with a less pliable material?
Kinda. 9mm does have a crimp, it's just a different style of crimp. If it had no crimp at all, bullet setback would cause Kabooms in semi autos.The issue isn't related to case material. The issue is that common 9mm rounds don't have a crimp. Most .38 spl and .357 rounds are crimped from the factory.
Yes, taper crimp.9mm headspaces on the case mouth so the "crimp or lack of" is more of a taper.
Very sorry I'm going off topic also lol.
I would like to find a "quality" 9mm revolver so my carry ammo is all the same. If you come up with a solution please update us.
I'm working on it.
I really want this to work. I'm in the process of looking for a LCR, S&W 940, or a Ruger SP101.

I wish S&W would bring the 940 back.

Got several LCR's in stock at Shootwise, but alas, not one in 9mm. Likely could order one though.
Is there a Ruger LE program? Also, what kind of price are we looking at? Last time I was in your place your prices were rather high. That was in 2009 though...

5% off firearms for active military/leo.
We are higher than Academy Sports. That's for sure. But we back up what we sell with a gunsmith onsite, and if that won't fix a problem, we'll ship the firearm to the manufacturer, so you don't have to.
You can check prices on the website: Shootwise.com
To be clear, it's not 'my place'. I work there on Mondays, so the manager can have two days off a week.
I'm really a contractor.
If they made it an AirWeight (exactly ONE, the 942, was produced) and changed the extractor star so it ejects no-moon-clip cartridges, then, IMO, you'd have something.
All-steel (i.e. heavy)? A pre-95 640, loaded with the good old-fashioned FBI .38+P round would be MUCH better... in my opinion.
