My brother was a partner in a gun store in the late 1970's, and they had a Model 52 in stock, which wasn't moving. We decided to make it a demo gun.

It would only feed Winchester 148gr WC's. Remington's, Federal, and even S&W-branded ammo would jam constantly.

We eventually permanently set up some RCBS dies, and scrupulously trimmed cases to insure no feed problems. Too much trouble for too little enjoyment.

That's why I'm a fan of the .38 Super.
