Not too happy about two things: the barrel is turning plum color, and the headspace is very tight to the extent it will take factory ammunition but handloads cause very sticky cylinder rotation despite everything I can do.
Grips, incidently, are Herretts.

Warm loads in 38-40 and 44-40 are known for that. The tapered cases have a tendency to back up just enough to drag. Cool gun,I like 38-40 a lot.
