I held a RM at my local shop! what a real honey of a gun!Which prompts me to recall the stories that emerged regarding the first
S&W .357 cartridges which were paired with the Registered Magnum
with 8 3/8thd barrels.
When shooters were able to obtain said cartridges or duplicate them with
home brew, the RM's could barely get through a cylinder full of rounds
before the barrel was badly leaded and accuracy went way down.
(Later on gas checks were added to the bullets to avoid the problem.)
