The owner then shot one cylinder of Wolf ammo and that was it, no more extraction problems, no more extraction period. The gun went home to have the cylinder soaked in oil in hopes of getting those steel cases out.
The gun is also slow to load/reload due to the spring loaded flanges on the extractor, 38 or 357 revolvers load much faster.
I am of the opinion it you want a rimless cartridge in a revolver MOON CLIPS are a very good thing. Charter tried to fix a non-existent problem.
If you decide to purchase one, I hope you have better luck with yours.
