I'm thinking about buying a Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible. I recently sold my wore out .38 Super Colt and wound up with a lot of .38 Super ammo and brass. I am wondering if the 9mm cylinder is strong enough to handle the .38 Super. Chamber pressures are very close for 9mm, .38 Super, .38 Spec. and .357 Mag.
Seems to be an easy conversion, just reaming the 9 mm cylinder with a .38 Super reamer.
Recommended twist rates for 9mm=1/10, .38 Super=1/16, 38 spec. and .357 mag.=1/16 by hornady reloading manual.
I'm missing anything or blatantly wrong? I appreciate your feedback.
