I was wearing my M29-2 in an El Paso tanker rig, under my jacket, which was unzipped. It was about 10 below and I was sweating, tromping through the deep snow hunting jackrabbits. I took a good tumble. After picking myself up and dusting off, I wiped, blew the snow off of my gun. The difference in the gun's temperature when worn under my jacket, then exposed caused it to freeze up. I could cock the hammer back, but the cylinder would not rotate. I tried for a few minutes to get it to work properly, to no avail.
I hiked back to the truck, tried again, but it was still frozen up tight. I then stuck it on the defroster, while I grabbed my Glock .45 and continued to chase bunnies.
The Glock .45 saved the day in that case.
