How about this: 4 sail, genuwine 1 of a kind S&W custom revolver. Serious offers being accepted in care of intensive care unit at local hospital.
This buutiful shiny specimen has only been fired 1 shot and has the most purtty rubber grips on it, they even provide a good grip when covered with blood 'n stuff. Also included is a unique visible loaded chamber indicator, frame has been custom modified for scope mount installation.
This fine gun would be purrrfect for that sooper dooper engraving project.
Don't miss this once in a lifetime opperrrtune-ity to own this most drool worthy wall hanger.

Unhappy felt recoil

How would you measure the felt recoil on that load?

Little bit of Duct Tape and a bit of Flitz polish and it'll be good as new.

What always surprizes me is how seldom that someone is seriously hurt when a gun blows up like that. Yeah, sometimes the result is fatal, but that happens a lot less frequently than I would expect looking at a wreck such as this.

One benefit of these types of postings is that I now know better that to even think about shooting someone elses reloads, it just aint worth the risk of what can happen.

gunlovingirl, and Joni Lynn-

You ladies made my night!!

I was gonna post about what Misty did, until I read down and then saw hers. That's too funny. You gals are great!

I do hope that the person is ok. I always double, triple fourple check the level of powder in my cases. That's why right there.

Wink I know a guy...

...who has a gun that looks just like this one. It started life as a 627 8-shooter and blew sky-high with TiteGroup powder and 158gr. plated bullets. Shooter not hurt, pieces never found. It happened at an IPSC match and the RO wasn't hurt either. RO claims the the previous shot "sounded funny" as in maybe a squib or light load.

S&W wouldn't warrantee the damage or sell the guy another 627. However, they did sell him a new 625 at wholesale.

I'm thinkin that at the very least, a trip to the underwear drawer would be called for! Hope the guy wasn't badly injured. Looks to me like the departing pieces went up and out to the sides and not back.

Gotta be real careful with those fast burning powders. A double charge of Bullseye will ruin your day. I hope the shooter and the people around him are OK.
