  1. Those are some nice revolvers you picked up G-MAN!

    Never owned a S&W. After starting with Colts, just seem like everything is arse-backwards.

    I own both Colt and S&W revolvers, I tend to lean toward my Smiths, the pull back cylinder release has just never appealed to me, just seems unnatural.

  2. The hottest and most destructive gasses are those closest to the center of the radius. I can simply look at my revolvers and see that some gas cutting occured early on and then never got worse.

    Besides if gas cutting is not limited I would think that some if not all of my revolvers with many thousands of rounds through them would look like the one above.

  3. That's true Bill, but since flame cutting is a limited process, in that, once the material on the top strap is removed to a certain point the remaining material is far enough away from the gasses as to not be affected any longer unless hotter and hotter loads are used.

  4. I was assuming it was flame cutting, but just assumed hot loads since my brother has that exact gun and has to have in excess of 7k rounds through it with only minimal flame cutting, now if the insert failed or was missing that's a whole other ballgame.
