These guys are right. no sense in messing up a perfectly good gun on purpose only to cause it to fail when it would have worked flawlessly if only youd taken care of it however, i read once i believe in a book by ayoob about a gp100 being tested for police service way back when. The gun supposedly was thrown in the dirt, smashed against a brick wall, ran over with a patrol car front to back, then the front wheel placed on the gun itself, steered lock to lock a few times now the gun was reportedly banged up and missing its sights but still fired. Thats the only "torture test" on a revolver ive read about. Personally if it happens to mine which it wont, my babys going to the smith before i shoot it again.
