This is not lead build up. It is erosion of the metal itself.

Hi folks. Looking over my 627 Pro I noticed what looks like "excessive" wear around the mouth of the barrel where it meets the cylinder. I'm used to seeing some of this on my revolvers but never as much as this. The wear on the inside has actually increased the distance from the flat of the...

Whatever I pick, I'll be taking this revolver on long hikes and camping trips. This is all really helpful info. Thanks a lot folks, I'm taking notes here!

I want a new trail/woods gun and I cant make up my mind. I'm looking for a more lightweight and easier to carry revolver that can shoot hot and heavy loaded .357 Magnum to replace the big and heavy S&W 627 Pro I have now. I don't live near moose or brown/grizzly bears so my main concern is big...
