Taurus new 38/357/9 DA revolver
I find this more interesting because of the technical aspects that need to be overcome to do this properly, and well. A revolver has something called B/C gap, its the space between the forcing cone and front of the cylinder, there is a sweet spot where this works best, IMO - between .004 and .008. Every cylinder is a slightly a different length, some shorter, some longer - so the B/C gap is typically after each cylinder is installed. In order for this gun to work properly they would need to pair up two different cylinders of matching (or very very close ) lengths. Too tight of a gap, the cylinder will rub on the forcing cone as the gun heats up, too wide you can see lead splitting and velocity loss. The other aspect would be timing, which can be more easily solved since most revolver manufactures just do a crude rough cut with a hardened steel hand. It works, but not particularly smooth when it comes to a nice double action pull IMO.

Do all revolvers clock the same direction?
Smith , Ruger , and Tararus all rotate counter clockwise. Colts rotate wrong ways ( clock wise )

And here comes the shitslide ...
What gave you the impression that I was throwing anybody under the bus? Asking a specific question that I found confusing to the way the new proposed law is written that would pertain to me personally , doesnt mean that I want this law to pass. I was honestly confused about if 8 shot revolvers would become illegal. Ray, dont forget who was standing next to you at the protests in Trenton while it was freezing rain in the middle of winter.

And here comes the shitslide ...
Then why are fixed tube lever action rifles with more then 15 rounds illegal ?
-
And here comes the shitslide ...
Honestly .. Yes. My whole collection is 8 shot revolvers, It's pretty much all I own. If the law gets shot down to 5 rounds for everything, I need would need to " sell " nearly ALL of my firearms, everybody else ( talking semi auto people here ) would just need to pin their magazines. So yes, there is a big difference here. Regardless though, I do not wish for any more gun laws here.

FML....SCHOOL ME ON HOT WATER HEATERS / INSTANT HOT WATER
if you plan on staying in the home, a tankless is great... if you're on your way out in the next few years, put in an replacement tank. It's really not a difficult job, find a friend who will help you lug it down into the basement and learn to sweat in pipe. I installed a Navien myself a few years back and it's been wonderful. Hot water until the cows come home.

USPSA Area8 Video
Thursday went very late, I recall leaving the range about 715 There was just enough target showing in between the barrels to " thread the needle " - Hard shot, but the reward was worth the risk.

Range with steel targets on pistol range
Many ranges, public and and private TYPICALLY do not have steel out for public use, well... because people are dumb. You always have that one a-hole will take his AR-15 and shoot up and destroy a plate rack with .223 rounds from 15 yards. Buy your own and bring it to a range that allows. http://www.gttargets.com/ is a steel target company that serves the northeast here and is in PA

March 12th - CJRPC USPSA Match
So wait.....increased match fee AND no prize payouts? Uhhh. I'm sure the boards cowboy action leauge gets all new props and reduced entry fees though. Nobody blaming you Steve, thanks for for putting up the fight. I would say no need to pay prizes out of your own company or pocket. That's silly.
