617 Leading on Top Strap
I know this has been covered here before. Yet, I am wondering if anyone has a new locking model 617 that leads around the frame where the barrel screws into the frame and on the top strap? I have shot maybe 300 rounds through my gun since I have last cleaned it. I have put maybe 1k rounds through it in all. The leading around the edge of the exposed barrel is enough to cause my friends heads to turn. I will try taking a picture to let everyone see.
I sat down and shot a group from 40 paces. I am 6'4". I put 8 of 10 shots inside of 2 1/2" easily. I did not notice any key holing. 2 shots were outside the group by 3 inches. Don't know if it was me or not. I was shooting federal lightning 40 grain lead solid points.
I have the 4" barrel model.
