Fair question. First I was originally looking for a .38/.357 I would almost 100% of the time use a 38, I just wanted the ability to have 357 for ammo availability.
Next, I had not heard many good things about the 9mm revolver due to moon clips, etc. This thread gave me some good pointers and I actually found a review from Massad on the lcr 9mm.
Now he does state it is a good backup gun to your semi auto due to ammo similarity.
The LCR series has great reviews as far as reliability, trigger, etc.
So essentially since I carry 9mm 100% of the time right now, Id like to stick with the common calibre.
Those are just some thoughts. Since it is NOT on the roster board I might be back to the drawing board and if that is the case I will go with a 38/357
I do not trust the charter arms, or taraus 9mm guns.
I know smith has an older one ..a 540? and a 9 something?
But the prices on those things are nuts.
I see your line of thinking and I don't disagree with it, but I offer the counter. There is no advantage to a revolver as opposed to a modern, quality semi-auto at least in terms of reliability. The only advantages that most people seem to find are ease of use and "better" caliber choices (.357; .45lc; .44) that aren't commonly available in semi autos. I get the idea of only stocking one caliber but I don't think you've really gained anything other than the ability to carry a revolver for the sake of carrying a revolver.
Just my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it.
That's F'n NICE!!!
Actually thats it right there. I do not believe one is more reliable than the other, but I want a revolver.
9 mm SP101 is no longer manufactured and was not available in spurless hammer design. I would still like to own one even with the standard hammer.Oh yea the SP 1010 in 9mm isnt on there either

Accept no substitutes.
Ruger because my trigger pull can be smoothed out, your S&W can't be made sturdier.S&W

NiceSCOOOORE!!
According to Marlene Jenkins in MDSP :
"The Sturm Ruger LCR (Model #5456) in 9mm will be legal on 2/9/15 - is this what you are looking for"
Oh yea the SP 1010 in 9mm isnt on there either

Yes, no longer manufactured, and I wasn't advocating for a 9mm revolver either. I'd stick with .357/.38 myself.
