does anyone has tech info on this cal. barrel,(Colt´s) like what type is the rifling,number and twist of rifling(5" barrel),howabout manufactures for this cal. ammo,availability over here isn´t too good (in Finland,that is).might just be a case of self loading...

only manufacturers of ammo is Winchester and Corbon..think there might be one other specialty company that makes a run..

not sure on the specs of the barrel..Colt did not make the best barrel for this caliber..many of the Colts and Springfields were rechambered 38 super barrels.

Dane Burns has as a lot of info about the 9 x 23 on his website (although some of the powder info is outdated). Go to http://www.burnscustom.com/ and scroll down the left side to the bottom and you'll see the link.
