Hi Ron,

They're fascinating guns to shoot. With a little bit of common sense the risks can be minimized. Imagine shooting it with the stock attached, you're just a few inches away from the bolt

We had a S&W blow up at the range a couple of months ago. Deteriorated powder in a reloaded cartridge blew the cylinder apart. We had to remove a piece of the brass cartridge from the shooter's forehead. He bled like a pig, but the wound was relatively small and could be treated onsite.

Funnily enough, we had 4 new wannabe-members on the range while it happend. Nobody joined. Strange...
