I currently have only one revolver (Ruger SP101 in 9mm) and I’m looking to add another but in a bigger frame. I’ve shot S&W’s and I haven’t necessarily cared for them. I haven’t shot too many Rugers (other than my own) but I really like the looks of the GP100.
One of my biggest issues is ammo cost. I have quite a few 9mm autos and my SP101 and ammo is much cheaper for 9mm than .357 or .38 sp.
Here are my 9mm revolver options (that I know of) other than my SP101:
1. S&W 986 or 929. Both are very expensive but seem high quality.
2. Ruger Blackhawk convertible. Gives the option of shooting both but only single action.
3. New Taurus 692. Same idea as the Blackhawk convertible but DA/SA. Also 7 shot cylinders. This gun is so new I can’t find it anywhere. I would be willing to wait if it’s the best option though.
Thoughts? Should I just go for a .357 mag and pony up the cash for the ammo? Or are there other alternatives for 9mm?
