It is sometimes said that things inanimate can ''hold'' memory, like house walls supposedly can store events from the past. Well .. there are some that believe this anyways!
Whether you give credence to this or not ... if any of your guns were able to relate a story of an unusual event ... what would that be?? And which gun?
The one of mine that comes to mind is when my Blackhawk was being shot by an aquaintance (he was no buddy of mine!!) .... and he said ''don't worry, I'll save your ammo and use my own homeloads''!! Hmmm ..... I was too trusting, if not stoopid!
So this gun's ''memory'' would have to be a sorta acute case of ''constipation'' ..... seeing as one round at least had been reloaded and sized so many times it was somewhat bulged low down ... but it was still, regardless of tightness ... ''persuaded'' into said guns chamber and somehow the loading gate was closed.
On cyl rotation however the whole deal got totally bound up .... and jammed ... he musta forced the cyl round hoping to get far enough to reach a firing position ... to expend said round and save embarrassment. Didn't work!!
Much time and invective was spent trying to free this off .... which, in the end was managed ... but I am sure that gun remembers its acute discomfort!! And I resolved to NOT have unknown or ''iffy'' ammo put thru one of my guns again.
