Charter Arms rimless 9mm revolver. Any opinions?

Charter Arms has a 9mm revolver now. It does not require moon clips. Gotta be great for reloaders tired of chasing brass. It is on my wish list. I have seen and touched Charter Arms revolvers at gun shows but I have never fired or owned one. Anybody got any opinions on it?

I have been shooting a rimless 9mm revolver for decades. It's called a Ruger Blackhawk Convertable. Never thought much of Charter Arms for some reason. Never owned one so it is purely based on my own opinion

So moon clips are not used to shoot 9mm in your Blackhawk?

Nope, I have a second cylinder with the ridge to hold the 9mm in place. Quick change of the cylinder and ready to go. Gives me the option of 38 spl, 357 mag or 9mm.

I have been looking at one of theses also in .40 cal got a price on the .40 $ 453.00 thought that is kind of high but the dealer told me that wheel guns prices have gone out the roof. He also has one in a .38 the gun feels real good in my hand but havent shot one yet. Charter arms make one in a .44spcl they all seem to be well made and nice looking pistols.

And according to this it will also fire .380 ACP.

I wonder if there are other rounds it can fire too?

So based on how this Charter Arms 9mm revolver secures the cartridge would you say it headspaces on the mouth? Or does it headspace on the extractor groove?

This thing is no longer on my wishlist. Gander Mountain had it for $429 plus tax. So I asked to look at it and it wound up following me home.

Funny thing, when he went to ring it up the cash register said it cost $499 plus tax. But since the tag had $429 he sold it to me for that.

In the photo you can see the "specialized spring" part of the ejector.
