The gunshop where I work part-time just took in an S&W 940 9mm J-frame revolver today. The gun is in excellent shape... I'd rate it at about 98%. I'm seriously thinking of buying it, altho I need another revolver like I need a hole in the head.
From what I can gather, you can shoot it without the "full moon" clips, but you'd need a dowel to push the fired cases out of the chambers. That doesn't bother me. If I can't do it with 5 rounds of 9mm Silvertips, I probably can't do it at all. The only real thing that might be a stumbling block is the weight. I'm carrying an S&W Model 637 now, and it only weighs 18 ounces fully loaded. With the all-steel Model 940, I guess it would probably weigh in at about 30 ounces loaded.
Anyone out there ever own or shoot one of these things?
