I just read an article in "Guns" magazine about the .22 Jet and how it's popularity disappeared because the cylinder locked up when firing the Jet cartridge. The discussion included the use of a TC barrel, which I found intriguing.
I have a Jet -Model 53 S&W with an extra cylinder for shooting .22 Long Rifle. I never had any lock ups with the Jet, but, then neither did I shoot it a lot due to cost of cartridges. That led to no interest in reloading it, either.
I contacted TC (S&W now) to find they no longer make a barrel for the .22Jet.
What has been the experience of Jet owners?
