I just got my Diamondback fixed so I had to test it out. I broke the cylinder stop arm after 21 years of shooting the gun so I really do not feel bad, but I was very concerned about the repair job. My little diamondback has served me for over 2 decades, and it is the only gun I would not sell to get through college. Lately though I have been into the more powerful 10mm pistol and 357 sigs pistols, so the diamondback has had a lot of "safe" time.
Anyway, I got it back and just finished about 700 rnds of revolver shooting. What a trip! I had totally forgotten about how much fun it can be to just load six, put a nice group in the target and do it again and again. No problem with the first shot going out of the group or anything. Obviously the fix works great, the double action is smooth as always and I am a happy camper.
I will have to start brousing the revolvers to replace my Python I sold to make it through college. For at least 5 years now I have only looked at pistols, so this will be a change.
Anyway, I just wanted to expound a bit on the fun of a revolver for a bit.
