- I saw a revolver just this morning advertised to shoot both .357 Magnum
- and 9mm. The owner said it had two cylinders (because the 9mm cartridge
- is shorter) but used the same barrell.

- Now I'm curious why I can't shoot 9mm in the same revolver which already
- shoots .357 Magnum and the 0.1" shorter .38 Special. Just how much
- shorter is a 9mm cartridge?
