just picked up the pistol today and put about 120-130 rounds through it. THIS THING IS FRIGGIN' AWSOME!!!. i never knew how much a pistol is. probably because i haven't shot much of them in my life.
as usuall, i have some questions.
shot 125gr. JSP remingtons umc and 158gr. JHP cci blazers. shooting into a layered "hard mass" the cci's held together MUCH better than the remingtons. i would have thought the JSP's would mushroom less than the HP's but i was wrong. how come cci's HP didn't expand the point of near extinction like the SP remingtons?
also shot some 130g.r FMJ winchester "bargain buy" box from wal-mart along with some american eagle FMJ's in .38special and i can say this. the winchesters burn ALOT dirtier than the A.E. ammo. will this gun get as much copper fouling as my ol' .270win rifle?
when looking into the chambers of the cylinder i noticed rings up near where the projectile part of the cartridge would go. is that supposed to be there? i didn't notice it before i shot tonight and i couldn't scrub it out. on the front of the cylinder when the barrel meets cylinder, i also noticed some dark rings. couldn't scrub them off well either. is all that stuff normal?
aside from getting nervous about cleaning from the muzzle end, i love this revolver.
