I agree
Hawg,
Yes...I hope I did not leave you with the impression that I think the arbor is weak or is a weak link. The design, as many have said, has stood the test of time.
My only point was to mention that significant force is applied to the pistol, not only during firing but during loading as well.
As regards the Private Murphy scenario, as I said I am no historian, consequently there are probably a lot more things wrong than you pointed out. I thought about the uniform after I hit the "submit" button and I do agree.
You have to admit, Dear old Mom, examining the hole in the jacket makes for a good story.
My scenario was meant to present my reason for believing that there may be a great percent of originals in existence that did not see a lot of rounds.
My regret is that I am not smart enough about historical fact to back up my belief, nor do I have a good idea of what I think the percent might be.
The most I was hoping for was to have you agree that the scenario is, at least, credible.
