Well, "absence of evidence" and all that. People use various guns for competition for various reasons. They also ALWAYS replace the barrel on a PPC gun. Is that proof that a Model 10 is inaccurate? Or are there other reasons? Folks use S&W's instead of Colt's, Dan Wessons or Rugers because they're just overwhelmingly better? Nope. They use them for one reason, trigger return speed.
They only tolerate them for decades if you don't shoot them. Most people don't. I would wager that 99.99% of the folks who argue about strength in favor of S&W, the Ruger deniers that always bring up the "cast vs forged" nonsense, have never fired more than a few hundred rounds through one. That's the problem, they don't tolerate a steady diet of full pressure loads but very few people shoot a .44Mag enough to find out. Jack Huntington is on his 29th model 29. When a guy that builds some of the finest custom revolvers imaginable, including a custom five-shot .475 N-frame, when he cannot fix them, you know there's a problem. That .475 is an 800fps cartridge similar to the .475Cooper, not the Linebaugh. Because even with a fortified action and oversized five-shot cylinder, the frame is a significant limitation. For most people, these limitations are a non-issue but they do exist.
I hate the "roll". My plow handled 8" SBH rolls A LOT
