That would weaken the topstrap, same as flame cutting.
Yea, but where is the fun in that. I was thinking a simple piece of steel that could be wraped around and crimped into place. It would probably need to be replaced often. But it would still benifit guns shooting the heavier bullets. You could probably just use tin foil and tape and it would proably hold up enough for a range session. Just throwing out ideas.For the .357 max, though, I think Jim's solution is far simpler; just don't shoot the light bullets.
I think the Blackhawk topstrap could endure a lateral .025" x .5" dovetail slot and survive just fine.That would weaken the topstrap, same as flame cutting.
You mean like S&W does with some of their Scandium revolvers like this one owned by THR member HighVelocity?Crosshair said:Mabee if someone ever makes another .357 Maximumn revolver they will incorporate the idea of a replaceable shield. Have it slide in a dovetail and hold it in place with a set screw.
Ya learn something new every day. That would be perfect in a .357 Maximum.You mean like S&W does with some of their Scandium revolvers like this one owned by THR member HighVelocity?
My thoughts exactly.That would be perfect in a .357 Maximum.
