I just aquired a US firearms 38 special revolver and will be reloading for it. I understand this gun is as strong or stronger than the Colt SAA and is suitable for the 38/44 level loads reccommended for use in heavy frame 38 specials. The fact that it is offered with a 357 magnum cylinder as an option would seem to confirm this.
Even if the cylinder and frame strength is adequate I understand that problems with higher pressure loads can occur in Colt type single actions because the one peice firing pin may allow primer extrusion to be a problem. Any information appreciated.
