Default A 9mm that was not a 9mm

ok, well, here goes....
My S&W 67-5 started life as a 38Spl. and it sat in my safe for a long time, then one day I decided to take it out for a walk around the range. But before we started, I sent it to TK Custom to have the cylinder CUT for moon-clips. While it was there, I ordered from APEX custom, a new competition hammer,and extended firing pin. I then ordered a new hammer spring from JM and went to work with GAA custom to work on the internals.
The new hammer had the sear cut to meet with the trigger and new trigger rebound spring, the new firing pin was installed but not before the lock system was remover and a frame plug added to fill the hole in the side of the frame.
I then had Hogue, make a set of grips. Removed the rear sight added an Alchin Mount and a C-More RTS-2 Red Dot Sight.
But, yes it does not stop there....Those who know me will say on, what's next.....Well what came next was changing the 38 Spl. to a 9mm.
That is correct a 9mm 6 shot that takes moon-clips.

Well today it all went together and I took it to the range to see what it could do.
Sent a target down 25 yds. turned on the red dot and went to work..
First few shots were a little left, the rest well, they were where they belonged (all 36 rds).

And before you all ask for Photo's,.........take a look............














Well, this is my story and I am sticking to it..........

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

So, thanks Pard's for all of the nice words.....and NOOOOOO, you can not have it.

But the one think that I left out was the load data

Above shot as 130g Berry's plated, with 3.9 g f Clay-Dot and Federal primers..

I am changing to a lead bullet (at 354 measurement) with 4g Clay-Dot and federal; primers..That should give me a 123 PF.



Give a call and if you are in town I will let you shoot it
