Why can't a revolver be chambered in 9MM without the clips?

They can be made, though it requires a unique extracting system. S&W offered the 547 years ago and Charter Arms now offers the 9mm Pitbull.
9mm Federal or 9mm rimmed was the result - designed on spec for the Japanese police force and other Japanese agencies whose agents are armed...
I have seen a ruger GP100 chambered in 9mm Luger - that's the one that always comes to mind when the topic gets raised...

But being a lefty, speed and wheel gun dont really go together.
I?ll get one some day just to shoot my ?reject? reloads.
I own a S&W 547 ( safe queen ) these have become somewhat a collectors item ?
Always thought I wanted the Charter version ? But never talked myself into one ???
Thanks !!!

I found that being left handed was an advantage while shooting a revolver back when I shot PPC. I could hit the cylinder latch with my left thumb while pushing the cylinder open with my right thumb. That right thumb would then 'capture' the revolver. Using my right hand, I then rotated the revolver to eject the spent cartridges while grabbing a speed loader with my left hand. Rotating the revolver one more time, I reloaded and closed the cylinder (as one smooth movement) with the left hand, re-acquired my grip and went back to shooting.
Perfect practice makes perfect! (and that took some practice)
Edit: And using Moon Clips with a revolver is almost cheating when it comes to speed loading
I did not know that any had been sold.
The legend at the time was that the no-clip extractor worked with US ammunition but would not pull European empties so they went to clips.
