Incident 1. The gun was new out of the box. I fired a couple of high quality 3 inch .410 shells and also high quality .45 long colts. I only got 2 of each off before the cylinder failed to turn any more. Of course the hammer would not cock back then. And great difficulty ejecting the cylinder. After working it for a bit. I got it open and it just didn't look and feel right after that. Sent back for repair.

Incident 2. At the indoor range with my buddy who is a certified instructor, too. I could only fire .45 cal indoors so I got off Two rounds before it failed on 3rd shot. In this case the cylinder would turn but the hammer would not drop whether you pulled the trigger or manually attempted to pull hammer back all the way.

As for me. I have 42 years of experience. I truly will be glad to get my refund. I do regret ever buying it. Thanks for your replies.
