What's wrong with writing about revolvers

"of course it probably won't work if you throw it off of a 10 story building"

Ruger salesmen used to demonstrate the Security/Speed/Service-Six line by throwing the guns around the range and driving over them.

What, you thought Glock invented abusive sales practices? ;)

If I was still involved in active police work I would be looking at autos too. As a private citizen I don't think I'll ever be accosted by a barricaded, armed to the teeth, psycho gunman. A Police Officer just might have that situation.

Apparently we ready different newspapers. I don't usually see a large percentage of hostages being policemen. Hmm.....

This is that exact type of reasoning that makes me glad that the second amendment is in place and I can protect myself. With officers who think like this, we are all in trouble.

Never anything new to say?
BULLPUCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hows about the new Taurus revolvers that shoot 9mm, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum in the same cylinder?
The new Taurus revolvers that shoot .44-40 & .410 shotgun ammo through the same cylinder?
The new much promised not-yet-in-production USFA Omni series?
And so on?
There's something new to talk about here & there.

can I get some more information on this? I checked the tuarus website and didn't see anything about revolvers that shoot 9mm, 38 and 357 in the same cyl.
 
New for 2005.
Taurus Triad, two different frame sizes, reg Tracker & smaller snub, shoots all three calibers.
Taurus 44 Ten, two different frame sizes, Tracker & Bull, supposed to shoot .44-40 & .410, although I'd think the .44 Special or .44 Mag with straight wall cases would work better than .44-40. Five-shot, 6.5-inch barrels.

the number of incidents where officers have been taken hostage is much higher than what is generally believed.
 
I shoot almost exclusively handloads. Some if my guns I've never shot any factory loads in. Not sure why reloads are blamed for gun trouble unless poor loads are used.
I shot SOMEBODY ELSES reloads and had a bullet creep forward, but not one of mine. Simply poor work on their part. I don't shoot anyone elses reloads anymore unless I know them real well and know how they load.

Crud under the extractor star? Couple times in centerfire guns they got sticky to work, but they did still work. This happens from not cleaning under the star. If I didn't do anything else to clean a DA revolver, I would clean under the extractor star. On rimfire DA's, a few bricks of cruddy ammo and they start to get gummy, but a simple toothbrushing under the star and they are back in business for another few bricks of ammo.

I have had the extractor rod come loose a couple times, they turn back in pretty easy, but simply torqueing them well with leather, copper or wood padded vise or plier jaws and a couple empties in the chambers will take care of this. Never had one come loose that was torqued well. They should be checked while handling and dry firing.

Never had a bent yoke, or a primer back out. How many rounds is "enough"? Been at this for about 30 years or so.
