Ultimately, all lightweight revolvers were temporarily disapproved for carry until the new ammo was purchased, received, and issued.

After that, all good!
Thanks for sharing!

Ultimately, we as customers are doing the ammo manufacturers a great service. If we do not point out their oversights, they’ll never root cause and fix the problems. I’m sure Winchester wants to make things “right” for its customers.

If Winchester had roll crimped these rounds as most higher pressure revolver rounds require, I would be purchasing more. Until then, my humble business is going elsewhere.
