My thoughts come after owning a moon clip gun and a 9mm revolver--a S&W627 PC in 357 and a S&W 547 in 9mm .
Both were problematic.
The moon clips are hard to load and unload, and easy to cut your fingers on. People do not shoot their carry guns enough to worry about weather it is a 9 or 38. Most people do not even carry extra bullets. 38's are a lot easier to use on a limited basis.
The 38 Special is generally more inherently accurate than a 9, even when fired from the correct size barrel and chamber.
The 38 +P is plenty strong from a Snub Nose. If power is the concern-go 357. Speed loaders are more durable than moon clips and handle better in a coat pocket.
The only place I would prefer a 9 with moon clips is at an IDPA or USPSA action pistol match where I can use a special belt and moon clip holder.
Those are my thoughts--I recognize and repect the fact that others may see it differently.

This was pretty much my thinking as well.. Its easier to run a rimmed cartridge in a revolver. Thats just the short and skinny of it. I got a blackhawk because I wanted a 9mm revolver so I didn't have to load another cartridge and I just decided after shooting it a while that it wasn't worth the investment for me just to be able to have a revolver in 9mm and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks like that and thats why there aren't more of them
Head to head shooting a semi 9mm and a 38 revolver on a dirt road the 9mm will not go as far as the .38. Add in the lost energy from the gap between the cylinder and the barrel on a revolver and it will go even less far.
So what are you gaining by having a 9mm revolver?

.357 is pretty sufficient - probably why none of the rimless stuff really caught on. That notwithstanding, I would probably try buying a 9mm revolver if they were anywhere my budget - not for self defense, just more of a range toy.
Yep, it's an anomaly that the .327/.32 H&R Mag,. .32 S&W Long can fire .32 ACP with no moon clips.
Love my .327 because of that.
The 32 auto is a semi-rimmed cartridge, just enough to work in a revolver.
