Is the ammo for the Japanese type 26 revolver 9mm? Have you see it come available for sale? Is there a conversion for it and have you ever seen dies available? Thanks in advance

  Years ago Midway use to sell it, in Orange colored boxes. Although I haven't seen it for years. The problem in reloading it, is that the rim thickness is much less than common revolver ammo.
  
  The front surface of the rim has to be reduced, so that the reloaded brass would chamber correctly. That's the problem. Years back, recall a article about reloading it. Once the rim had been thinned standard dies and components could be used to make sat ammo.

  I shoot .38 short Colt in mine with good results. Powerwise and dimensionally, it's practically the same.

  Do you have to do anything to the 38 SC ammo, rims. So that they will chamber?

  Rufe, not a thing. Very mild report and almost no recoil.
