Yeah, I wondered about that. Does it need moon clips, or headspace another way?

I took the new revolver, a 3 inch model, to the range yesterday. I had no expectations as I had never fired this round before.

First up, recoil was almost non-existent. I found this very pleasant, as I have issues with the palm of my right hand.

Accuracy was pretty darned good. I was hitting the 4 inch dirty bird style sticky consistently up to 15 yards.

Function was somewhat odd. Many of the casings were hard to eject. Initially, I had to rap the ejector rod hard to get the casings out, but it got better as I fired more rounds.

There was a lot of unburned powder, which I initially thought was "spitting" of lead. The gunsmith checked the timing for me, all is well. I will try a variety of ammo to see which works best. These were American Eagle 100 gr JSP.


Fit and finish was acceptable. There were a few "buff" marks on the interior, but the exterior was putty.

Overall I am pleased.
