REALITY CHECK!

The "MAIN PROBLEM" with using LR primers in a pistol round is SIZE - the LR primers will protrude past the base of the cartridge. In short, you have 100 rounds that are an accident waiting to happen.

It is a greater problem with autoloaders, in which a slam-fire is a very real likelihood. In a revolver, the problem may be closing the cylinder on the incorrectly-loaded cartridges.
