Rock Island Armory AL9.0 Standard 9mm Blue/Black Revolver

A: Robert, you can load the AL9.0 without the moon clips and the firearm will function without issue. The problem then comes when you need to remove the brass. Because the brass tends to expand when fired, they will not all fall out. You'll need a pencil or cleaning rod to do this one case at a time. That's why most shooters use moon clips. Pushing on the rod at the front of the cylinder will easily eject all the cases at once. Have a great day!

A: while they are not required they make life easier without them you have to use a rod (or something else ) to manually push out each fired piece of brass

A: Robert, no Sir it is not. Although the shell ejector rod will not engage the cartridge case, there are no issues with the cases falling out with a slight wiggle of the revolver as stated and demoed starting at 1:25 in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTsX0uTcpQs&t=87s

A: I do not see it on the MD Handgun Roster under Armscor/Rock Island Armory here : https://licensingportal.mdsp.maryland.gov/MSPBridgeClient/#/home

A: It does not appear to be on the MD approved list however I would check with my local FFL as he would have the latest Information https://licensingportal.mdsp.maryland.gov/MSPBridgeClient/#/home

A: This is not on the MD handgun roster. You can check with your local FFL to see if it has been added.

A: Hi Carson, no sir, this will fire 9mm only. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Carson and welcome. No Sir. The Cylinder is 9mm ammunition only. A "Combo Cylinder .357Mag/38 Special and 9mm model is here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/100191/taurus+692+357mag+38sp+black+3+7rd+adjustable+sights+includes+9mm+cylinder --------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Carson, while a 9mm and a .38 are very close in diameter (the .38 is ever so slightly larger) they are not interchangeable. Will only SAFELY fire 9mm.
