I bought 2 of them, a 3 1/2" and an 8". So far the large revolver has ben the most fragile, the loading lever just started falling down every shot!
I wonder if I pushed too hard seating a ball at one time or another? I have been told that the screw that holds the lever on is soft and bends>
I dunno but I can't get the screw out to check it! It was too tight from the factory! I'm going to try and find a "Nut Driver" and see if that'll break it loose?
For the time being, I just use a piece of black electrical tape to hold it in place. EMBARASSUNG!
Now the 5 1/2" revolver is a dream!
Shoots right on at 7 yards dead centered and handles 35 gr loads of Pyrodex with ease! Packs quite a punch too with this load! I don't own a chrony but from the posts I've read, it's doing over 850fps with a ball and such a charge! A powerfull load!
The shorter bbl handles very well also, much easier to swing to the target than the long one. It also draws really noce too.
I either use a sholder holster or a cross-draw rig for it. The large Remington frames fit most CF holsters.
I really wish I'd have gotten 2 of the short guns!
