It appears that the strain screw and mainspring combo Smith puts in the revolver is borderline as far as go or no-go firing. I didn't get a chance to shoot any 410 shotshell out of it and maybe we'll attempt tomorrow to do that. This revolver has such a nice trigger on it and so easy to shoot accurately it is silly. Not really overly excited about the 45 ACP, but they do well enough out of this gun. If I loaded up for self-defense I will put in a couple rounds of 410 000 and the rest Long Colt.

IF YOU ARE LOADING UP FOR S/D, WHY ARE YOU LOADING A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF .410 ? ? ? YOU ARE NOT LOOKING TO DISPATCH GARDEN PESTS. IF YOU HIT AN ASSAILANT WITH THAT SHOTGUN LOAD, AND HE IS WEARING A HEAVY LEATHER JACKET, OR IS HIGH ON DRUGS, ETC, YOU MAY JUST ANNOY HIM......

IF YOU HIT HIM CENTER MASS, WITH A FEW ROUNDS OF JHP, IN .45 COLT, OR .45 ACP, YOU WILL RUIN HIS DAY---NO MATTER WHAT ! ! !
