I thought about this some time back. Loaded up one of my revolvers back on May 1st Will see how well it fires on Nov !st. I understand this may not be a long time but this is the first time I've tried anything like this with one of my revolvers. This is to find out if the revolver will fire like it should and if some may not go off. If I want to carry one of these revolvers would like to know how long I can carry it and know it will go off when I need it to. if not then may as well stay with the smokeless powder revolvers.
