another Trail Gun just finished. This little beauty
is chambered in 9mm with a 5 shot cylinder. It is based on a Single Six that we converted from rimfire to centerfire. The gun is new from the ground up with new barrel, cylinder, gripframe, grips and sights. It has a 6" barrel and has the interchangeable blade front sight with the gold bead. It has the Belt Mountain base pin for a tighter lock up. It is finished in our soft satin Vapor Honed Black Chromex with satin stainless small parts. It has had the Positive Performance Package and is very slick and accurate. It has the Gunfighter grip with a really nice set of blue and gray laminated grips made and fit to it. The Trail Gun is normally $1995 on the customer's base gun so it would usually be priced around $2500. It's the perfect Trail Gun, lightweight but with plenty of power. It is sale priced at $1795.

Probably the single best Trail Gun caliber...
Mine is a 9mm/38 Super Dual Cylinder gun.
The 9mm is excellent in a revolver and ammo is cheaper than 22 Magnum. Or, it was...
A fine example. Every true enthusist needs his.
I had one done to my specifications, reflecting my personal character and likes. Mine's probably too flashy, and I like .40 S&W that few others see my angle. But I get my friends give me unwanted .40 brass, seat it long, and dose up as a full 10mm.
However the 9mm cal. gives up little to my favored .40 S&W revolver load. A 155 gr. .400 plated hp at 1250 fps. *Thanks Huey. You can load 158 gr. cast in a 9mm case and just let the .356" (re-sized) bullet hang out a little into the cylinder chamber throat. Some .358" will likely stick in the 9mm cylinder chamber throats. The 9mm case gets thick a little fast for the bullets much past 140 gr. That's why many 147 gr. 9mm projectiles have a tapered or boat-tail.
Overall for .40 S&W I really like the old Lyman/Ideal 170 gr. SWC HP cast at 1100 fps. Tolerable in a light gun it sure hits hard. The fragile nose imparts commendable energy transfer with the remaining solid base continuing to penetrate deeply. A real sleeper bullet, from 100 yrs. ago, in any .400 cal. gun.
Double custom, before customized .32 H&R, and after; a little more serious and versatile .40 S&W. The little .32 H&R demanded bullets .311-.312".
