I am beginning to believe that is because it is so cheap, and there are about a brazillion of them around, surplus and new. Cheap to shoot, and you can get a new Tarus 111 for under 250 on sale. (not real accurate in my experience, and odd trigger). A few of the mid size frames for 9's, are probably better CC than most revolvers for convenience. It is an easy ctg to load, easy on powder and lead (my favorite is 4.5 gr Unique, under a 120 NOE Tri), recoil in minimal etc. On the range I find about 20 to 1 brass in favor of all the other hand gun ctgs. Not real hard to accumulate a thousand cases. A good stiff loaded 38 S will outclass the 9 energy wise all day and will handle a larger variety of bullet weights. Anyhow those are my thoughts on the 9, and will be interested in the thoughts of others on the subject.
