.32acp in a Trident 9???

[1096369fred]

Hey Guys,

I hope I haven't used up my allotment of dumb questions??? Here we go....

I already have a Walther PP barrel, and want to use it in a PPK in 7.62mm (.32 ACP ) my Trident 9 is 1/2x28, so I guess I would need threading and an adapter.

Has anyone done this, and would it be worth the expense? What kinda performance could expect outta a .32 through a 9mm can? I have read that some guys have had good results with threaded Nagant revolvers through 9mm cans.

Thanks!
Fred

It will be loud.

You will need a stronger spring and you will most likely need to cut a grove or two in the chamber to delay the opening a bit (more resistance on the brass).

First cut, .32 with the correct can design has been shown to be acceptable.

9mm can would need some smaller diameter drilled ( .32 + ∆x ) baffles

Given the diameter of the PP barrel you would have to have make an insert
to step up to 1/2".

Could be a satisfying 'Foreign Intrigue*' imagery for your $200.00 stamp
and machining time.

What I am dying to know is: Where can one get extended PP barrels?
