LemmyCaution- Well said, thank you.

What if you dropped the santimonious tone? Clearly if the threat is over, deadly force is not justified. But, given the heat of the moment I think it's interesting to consider one's reaction to the "perp" not following commands.

"What I did do was produce from my side a very loaded 45 kimber auto with a laser site which I promptly set right on his chest. "I yelled at him to back up and get down on his stomach and interloch his hands behind the back of his head. Obviously he knew the routine and complied." What if...

357phase, Wow, the eraser really does work. I honestly thought the suggestion was a joke. Nevertheless, I sheepishly tried it, anyway. Thanks so much from the original poster.

Might there be any recommended way to remove the blast stains from the forward face of a revolver's cylinder finished in nickel?

Wow, not a ringing endorsement for factory work. I truly appreciate knowing of your experience.
