S&W 940-1 thoughts, experieces?
I recently came across a lightly used 940-1. I had to google it find out what it was. It was a pre-lock Jframe in 9mm. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this model, and if so, I am hoping you would share.
I want this primarily as a collectible and occasional edc, and a way to get in more Jframe practice with my most commonly loaded caliber. What are your thoughts on this idea?
Thank you.

I love my 9mm converted 642-1. One of those goes with me anywhere type of guns.
For me, I get identical velocity from Hornady XTP 147 grain standard pressure as I did from Hornady CD 110 grain +P. Main reason I did the switch.
For the 940s, I did hear about sticky cases… but not something I’ve dealt with my conversion cylinder (Pinnacle).
For bullet jump, just make sure you use a round with a decent crimp. Hornady line… good to go. I get a same POI with the old UMC bulk 115 grain, so I have a few cases stocked up for training. I inked the UMC bullets so I could see any movement (permanent marker where the bullet meets the case)… fired 4 rounds and checked the 5th a few times. Never had an issue.
The Hornady, I did the same test but used the same round over 4 cylinders to see how well it held. Zero issues.
