I can't totally blame the magazines because they are a business and wish to stay in business... just we as readers need to put on the filters and a spoonful of salt.<br /><br />So anyway... that you now have the snub, if you ever get a chance to train with one of the snub guys like Claude Werner or Michael de Bethencourt, don't miss the opportunity. And Verne Trester is a great snub gunsmith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-50887902661230823052010-06-22T00:42:58.437-04:002010-06-22T00:42:58.437-04:00Back in the 70's, most of the gun magazines us...Back in the 70's, most of the gun magazines used to run their tests after a 500 round break-in period, usually using ball.

Thanks for citing.<br />I should add, I'm also concerned that we shoot these guns with FMJ and then charge our magazines with some form of personal protection--blunt or hollow point--round.<br />I once owned a 9mm that would not feed anything but round-nosed FMJ. However, that little problem took me 4 years to discover!
