Am I the only one who sees the White Elephant in the CARR design?: Unless I'm missing something, you have to
load the rounds
individually.
One of the big advantages to rimless rounds in a revolver is reload speed using moonclips. Unless I
am missing something, CA latched onto a relatively small issues with moonclips, and developed a "solution" that's worse than the "problems". And neither they, nor the video reviews I've watched actually show the gun being loaded, so I'm really smelling a rat now.
The other issue I have with the system is reliability: First, each of those pins in the ejector look spring-loaded, and springs can & will break. Also, the ejector area in a revolver is a pretty dirty place, so I'm concerned about the spring-loaded pin's sensitivity to crud. Finally, as the round is fired, the case is pushed back - normally against the recoil shield, which reseats the primer. In the CARR system, the fired case looks like it's retained by the pin in the ejector, so
it takes up a lot of that force - how long can it do so until it develops issues? And if the case doesn't hit the back of the recoil shield when fired, what's resetting the primer? A primer that doesn't reset can certainly affect the action, or even tie the gun up.
No matter the maker, then, when it comes to rimless revolvers, I think I'll KISS and stick to moonclips.
