No and I didn't do it with the other revolvers when I was comparing. But I will try it with empties that are stuffed to same weight as loaded ammo.

Looking at the weather down at my range area which is 30 miles away and just might run down there and shoot the **** out of it...rain be damned!!

I really like the M69 size,feel and .44 Mag capability...just got to get these build quality issues straight which SHOULD be the easy part. The trigger action is really nice!
