Will ruger 9mm cylinder fit in any 357 blackhawk revolver ?

[kemper]

Have owned several blackhawk revolvers for years.
Have 2 in 357 caliber.
My questions is will a NM 9mm cylinder fit into any Blackhawk 357 revolver ?
Wanting to get one, but wasn't sure

The New Model .357 Mag. Blackhawks are a different frame size then the Old Model .357 Mag. Blackhawks. You have to go by the over all length of the cylinder to see if it fits.

Thanks for the info.
Guess I should have asked it in a better way.

You still have to go by the over all length of the cylinder.

OK, so on a new model the overall legth of the cylinder
should be what ?
1.642 ?

They are all a few thousands different so you need to know what your 357 Mag. measures and then find a 9MM to match. If you find one that is a little long you can remove some of the metal where the base pin goes through the cylinder. If it is too short then there will be too large of a gap between the cylinder and the barrel and you will get a lot of flash comming out the side of your gun. Not sure what the tolerance is but I'm sure someone here will say.
