Now for some Gun Stuff - Revolver Versitility

an interesting note about barrel leading...

my SW 66-1 with 2-1/2" barrel will lead up enough, with one box of LSWC in .38 or .357 that i can almost cast a 148g Double Wad Cutter...

my Glock 22, with 155g SWCL bullets wont get a gram of leading after 150+ rounds...

same hardness level?



I have a S&W 66, 3" barrel (Lew Horton Special from years ago) that has had many a case of 38 wadcutter and keith style SWC thru it, nary a bit of leading,

I read there was NO cartridge in the chamber . . . .although the magazine was loaded!

I’m believing someone put her up to the deed! . . .handed her a 1911, WITHOUT any instruction as to how to use it!

“Here, Squeaky . . .take this gun and go shoot the president.”

Jim, you're correct. There was no round in the chamber. Magazine was indeed loaded. She just pulled the hammer back and pulled the trigger.
Speaking of the Manson hippies, ya’ll ought to watch the recent Movie, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It’s about an alternate series of events where the Manson murderers didn't follow through with Charlie Manson’s directive to kill everyone in the Sharon Tate home.
In the movie, the Manson hippies instead were detoured from their original plans and entered the home of another actor where he and his stunt man and best friend, Cliff Booth (played by Brad Pit) were relaxing after just getting in from a night out drinking.
I thought that it’d be a piss poor movie, but it’s Great!
Here’s a little clip from it...
