Spacecoast,
I have bought 20 Colts this year, 8 semi auto and 12 revolvers. They are all doing well, slathered in Balistol.
You are thinking of the half dozen Police Pos 38 sp revolvers I got for $80 ea as police surplus from AIM over 10 years ago for destructive test.
I was forced to take engineering ethics in 1976 from an old ME prof that said if the rocket blows up on the launch pad we don't learn much. When I do a test I have some idea of what it will cost and what can be learned.
I have shared some of that information on the internet, for free.
