Unique would be my choice between the two. Versatile for many handgun calibers.

I would prefer it if we could keep personalities out of the discussion, and stick to principles and facts. JMO

I think that's just tearing of the paper target, which can happen if there's a bit of space between the paper and the backing. I don't think a keyholing pistol would throw all those shots that close together.

Story of my life: Want one, can't afford it.

Still using my Bonanza single stage. Got it on clearance in 1976.

Here is a source for "previously owned" brass. As of this posting, they even have some 10mm, which has been scarce. I have done business with this co. and they are legit. https://eastcoastreloading.com/handgun-brass/

Gun powder, powdered sugar, or bath powder?

Mineral oil also works. I treated my only 2 wooden blocks with it, and they're holding up fine. Mineral oil is also good for treating wooden (food) cutting boards, as it is not toxic. Use it lightly, let it soak in, repeat.

Powder Valley has some of the "good stuff", including Alliant powders that we haven't seen in a long time. https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product-category/reloading-supplies/powder/smokeless-powder/?pr_stock=instock&wpf_order=title

Our friends at Powder Valley have BE-86 in 1 lb size. I know a lot of folks like it. https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product/alliant-be-86/

Replace that 10mm brass that went into the next county. https://www.midwayusa.com/ltd/product?pid=979257&utm_medium=email&utm_source=service&utm_campaign=product-arrival-notification&utm_content=product-description-link

Not everything that can be done should be done.

Thank you, Mr. 35 Whelen! You are a gentleman and a scholar. PS: It's an expression used by "kids," ie: people younger than 40. I means "eff my life." I hope I have not incurred the wrath of the moderation staff ! .

FML is what you say when you find out you're SOL.

Well, anybody want to guess what Numrich is sold out on? FML :uhoh:

I opened the cylinder and spun it. There seems to be a very slight amount of runout...I have no good way to measure how much.

Mr. 35 Whelan, I have cleaned that area 3 or 4 times to no avail. I have noticed that when one of the "bad" chambers is in line with the barrel, the cylinder latch takes extra effort to operate, and there is a bit of difficulty in swinging out the cylinder.

Yes, chambers. Forgive me. Gun is clean, Cylinder locating pins are present and look correct. I can see gap between forcing cone and cylinder all the way around. Crane is fitting nicely to frame. I am wondering if something is wrong with the lock works internally, but I know very little...

"Drags" on two cylinders (hard to turn). Can't see a bend anywhere. Cylinder/barrel gap looks ok. (Don't have feeler gages) I can do simple mods to modern plastic guns, and 1911's, but I know my limitations. I really like this revolver and I want to shoot it.

Anyone know of a good gunsmith in the Charleston/Mt.Pleasant SC area? I don't want some "plumber" working on this fine old beauty.
