Eaa Witness C 9x23 Winchester Conversion

[ace88]

I recently have become fascinated with the 9x23mm cartridge and have read that tokarevs hav been reamed to accept this caliber. A Yugo M57 stoked with 9+1 of 9x23 aint too shabby. While scouring the net for more info i found that people are running 9x23 through the .38 super Witness, which got me to thinking about the witness compact in 9mm with a .38 top end. Other than a heavier recoil spring what else would i need to complete the conversion and would it be possible to forgo the .38 kit and just have the 9mm reamed?

Several things come to mind when looking at the 9X23 when compared to 38 Super:
* The cases are the same length, but the 9X23 has a significantly thicker web section to safely allow use of higher pressure loads in pistols chambered for this cartridge.
* A pistol chambered for 38 Super could be modified to safely fire 9X23, but it would require considerable knowledge of firearm mechanics and structure to be done safely.
* A pistol specifically chambered for the 9X23 would be a better bet due to cycling issues with the pistol (recoil spring tension, opening speed, slide speed).
