No videos, it's going to lawyer up I guess. I say someone measured the powder wrong or grabbed the wrong powder. Time for the metallurgical guys to inspect it first.

Working for one of the top engineering groups in the country. It's time for a failure annalsysis to find out why it broke.

Was the steel completely heated and mixed before it was poured?
Was the heat treat done right, not over heated?

To the s&w 500 owners if you half cock the revolver, then back off leaving the cylinder moved halfway. Then return the trigger then use the double action will the cylinder go to full battery or move and stay offset? Freakish things can happen?

Or a squib ?

Ruger uses a top grade quality steel from carpenter steel. I'm not saying it's s&w fault. It could be operator error. I don't like the two piece barrel.
