3566 Limited with a 9mm barrel, still having issues trying to sort it out. Several fail to feeds, rounds not chambering fully, some fail to ejects.
Model 41, stove pipes, fail to feed, fail to eject.. Only tried about 10 types of ammo so far. Did find one brand of ammo that seemed to work 80% of the time (most expensive one of course).
Old beat up cobbled together Brazilian 1917.. Shot like a dream. Surprisingly accurate, used several hand loads, cast bullets from old wheel weights, AR brass and ACP brass. Didn't seem to matter what was stuffed in it, it shot everything happily.
Helped remind me why I'm so fond of OLD revolvers with little of anything on them to break. So sloppy fitting that a little dirt doesn't matter, missing a little lube someplace doesn't matter, brand/load of ammo doesn't matter.
Now I'm home and have 2 guns to take an hour to disassemble and clean and one I might take the time to wipe the soot off of... S&W Hand Ejectors: 1861-1964, Amen.
