The following incident was being discussed on a non-firearms related bulletin board. Appreciate any opinions from you boys.
"Some buds and I went shooting yesterday, and one of them brought his Taurus Raging Bull (.454 casull). After he took a few shots he offered me a crack at this monster. The first round went well, although it has a lot of recoil it was alright. Then things got worse, When I torched off the second round, somehow it double tapped itself, and sent two rounds down range, as in it fired out of battery. When we looked the gun over to see what had happened, we noticed that the cylinder guard (the metal behind the cylinder to hold the rounds in) had been bent back and metal had sheared off the inside. We figure that if the gun hadn't been as stout is it was I might not have walked away uninjured. All in all it was an experience I wouldn't reccomend."
There's more info which I'll retrieve and post. I only know how to do one cut & paste at a time.
